answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s priority is to ensure that residents of high-rise (above 18 metres) buildings with unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding systems are, and feel, safe.</p><p>Officials continue to engage with developers, building owners and managing agents with responsibility for buildings with unsafe ACM cladding systems to ensure they are remediated as quickly as possible. We have written to all relevant private sector building owners reminding them of their responsibilities towards making their buildings safe. This includes ensuring that leaseholders are protected from remediation costs. We have reminded building owners that local authorities have powers to enforce these improvements if building owners do not take action. A joint expert inspection team will support local authorities in ensuring and, where necessary, enforcing remediation. We have also created a taskforce, chaired by ministers, to oversee the progress of remediation.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 15/04/2019 14:42:02 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2019 answer text <p>The Secretary of State has consistently set out his strong expectation that leaseholders should be protected from the costs of remediation. We are very concerned about the situation affected leaseholders find themselves in through no fault of their own. We are actively engaging with building owners, managing agents and leaseholders to establish where leaseholders are being asked to, or have paid for, remedial works. We are considering various options for ensuring costs are not passed on to leaseholders.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 15/04/2019 14:44:22 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to modernising the private rented sector and intends to introduce a new, fairer deal for both landlords and tenants.</p><p>As part of this new deal, the Government will put an end to ‘no-fault’ evictions by repealing section 21 of the Housing Act 1988. Under new proposals, a tenant cannot be evicted from their home without good reason, providing tenants with more stability, and enabling them to put down roots and plan for the future.</p><p>We also plan to strengthen the Section 8 possession process to ensure landlords have confidence they will be able to end tenancies where they have legitimate reason to do so, such as selling or moving into the property themselves.</p><p>We will launch a consultation on the details of a better system that will work for landlords and tenants. Ministers will also work with other types of housing providers outside of the private rented sector who use these powers, and use the consultation to make sure the new system works effectively.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 15/04/2019 14:40:55 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
