<p>Leaseholders who are buy-to-let landlords are able to benefit from funding from
the Building Safety Fund for eligible remediation works on residential buildings 18
metres and above in England, subject to the relevant subsidy control requirements.
Eligibility criteria for the Building Safety Fund can be found in the Building Safety
Fund Prospectus at: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fguidance%2Fremediation-of-non-acm-buildings%23prospectus---outlining-eligibility-for-the-fund&data=04%7C01%7CBSP_PQ%40levellingup.gov.uk%7C87a862620dd34b39934b08d9ec8d3fc1%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637800913660928679%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=t6Z%2Bs2XVd4EUXFNGFWpcwcTBnu3wyZcu%2FirLHdbLYRA%3D&reserved=0"

set out in in the Secretary of State's statement to Parliament on Building Safety
on 10 January 2022, building owners and industry should make buildings safe without
passing on costs to leaseholders, and leaseholders living in their own medium rise
buildings should not pay a penny to remediate historic cladding defects that are no
fault of their own. We have clarified that we have no intention of excluding leaseholders
who have moved out and sublet from the protections that will be in place (including
those in shared ownership) for buildings below 18 metres in England. We will explore
whether this support should extend to leaseholders who are buy-to-let landlords.</p>
