The leaseholder protections in the Building Safety Act 2022 came into force on 28 June. This means qualifying leaseholders in England can no longer be charged for cladding remediation, and there are legal protections in place for non-cladding costs.
Qualifying leaseholders can only be asked to share capped non-cladding costs in certain circumstances and there will be clear transparency and financial reporting requirements for building owners. Further detail on how costs are to be divided between the freeholder and any landlords will be set out in regulations. Parliament is deciding on these during July.
