Schedule 8: Remediation costs under qualifying leases Paragraph 17 Background
This paragraph amends the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985.
	Section 21 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 allows regulations to be made in connection with the provision of service charge information by landlords to leaseholders. Regulations under section 21 may be used in connection with the leaseholder protections provisions in requiring the landlord to provide information to leaseholders in respect of service charges which are subject to the leaseholder protections in Schedule 8.
	Subsection (2) of that section requires that the landlord must provide certain information to the tenant. Subsection (3) requires the landlord to provide a report to the leaseholder. Paragraph 17 disapplies these subsections in respect of regulations made under section 21 where the regulations relate to relevant buildings (as defined in section 117).
