Building Safety Bill - Cladding Remediation

Campaigning and Policy

The building safety bill states in its current version (14 Feb 2022) that "no leaseholder living in their own home, or subletting in a building over 11 meters, ever pays for the removal of dangerous cladding".

Yet, special rules apply for landlords with more than 2 buy to let properties per the current government view.

Can someone help me understand what the situation is if I am the leaseholder living in a building with cladding issues and upcoming remediation costs with the flat in question being my own home that has never been rented out yet at the same time I do own 2 BTL properties elsewhere. I somehow struggle to determine what applies in this case and as always, I am sure the devil is in the detail.

I do hope that with the help of the NRLA and others, this completely unfair, discriminatory treatment of landlords will be reversed.

Thanks a lot for any guidance.
