Schedule 8: Remediation costs under qualifying leases Paragraph 11: No increase in service charge for other tenants Effect
Paragraph 11 provides that no leaseholder, whether a qualifying or non-qualifying leaseholder, can be charged more than they otherwise would have been in the absence of the leaseholder protections for costs relating to historical building safety defects.
	Sub-paragraph (a) defines "the original amount" as the amount that would have been payable by a leaseholder in the absence of the provisions in Schedule 8 applying.
	Sub-paragraph (b) sets out that where a greater amount than the original amount would be payable under a lease of a premises in a relevant building (to which see section 117) as a result of Schedule 8 applying, then the amount that is payable is the original amount.
	This paragraph applies to all costs to which Schedule 8 applies including costs associated with cladding and non-cladding defects, to interim measures, and to costs relating to legal or professional services.
