Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he is taking steps to enable leaseholders in properties where there are substantive non-cladding fire safety risks and no recourse to the Building Safety Fund to challenge freeholders who fail to provide evidence of costs.

Guidance relating to leaseholder protections, including further information on landlord certificates and leaseholder deed of certificates, can be found here

Where leaseholders consider the landlord is breaching the terms of the lease or is in breach of the Building Safety Act 2022, they can take legal action against them. Legal action may include an application to the First-tier Tribunal. They can also apply to the Tribunal for an order requiring the landlord to remediate the building. Advice on such steps is available free of charge from bodies such as the Leasehold Advisory Service or Citizens Advice.
