If a leaseholder owns a total of more than three properties, their principal home always qualifies for the protections if it is in a relevant building.

This amount cannot be increased to replace money that qualifying leaseholders are protected from paying.</p><p>The Act provides a toolkit of measures to allow landlords and others to pursue those responsible. The Government has made it very clear that any necessary remediation work should not be delayed.
