366.This section makes amendments to the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 Act by inserting sections 30IB and 30IC into that Act. Section 30IB applies to a “relevant lease” i.e. a lease which is not an occupation contract:
	that is granted for a term certain of 7 years or more, whether or not it is (or may become) terminable before the end of that term by notice given by the tenant or by re-entry or forfeiture, and
	under which the tenant is liable to pay a variable service charge.
367.It provides for such leases that the costs of taking a “building safety measure” are recoverable under the service charge. Subsection (4) sets out that legal and other professional fees, fees payable to the building safety authority and management costs incurred in connection with the taking of a building safety measure are recoverable.
368.Section 30IC defines the meaning of “building safety measure” for the purpose of section 301B.
369.Subsection (5) of section 30IC provides a power for the Welsh Ministers to make regulations amending the meaning of “building safety measure”.
