	uin	206387
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2019 answer text <p>Where ground rents exceed £250 per year or £1,000 per year in London, a leaseholder is classed as an assured tenant. This has the effect of bringing some leaseholders within the ambit of Ground 8 of Part 1 to Schedule 2 of the Housing Act 1988. This means, for even small sums of arrears, leaseholders could be subject to a mandatory possession order if they were to default on payment of ground rent. This is a disproportionate remedy that was never intended for leaseholders. As part of our leasehold reform work we are committed to legislating for provisions which ensure that leaseholders will not be subject to Ground 8 mandatory possession orders for arrears of ground rent. We will bring forward the necessary legislation as soon as parliamentary time allows.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 11/01/2019 12:57:41 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

The 2019-20 allocation includes the £50 million top-up funding announced in May 2018; the further £100 million top-up funding will also be applied as an uplift to the 2019-20 amount, once allocations are announced.
