Omit paragraph (1).

In paragraph (4)(c) after “certificate” insert “and the evidence referred to in paragraph (7)”.

“(10A)

Within one week of receiving a leaseholder deed of certificate the current landlord must provide a copy of the certificate to any RMC, RTM company or named manager in relation to the building to which the certificate relates.

Where a current landlord fails to comply with the requirement in paragraph (10A) the costs of a relevant measure relating to a relevant defect in the building to which the leaseholder deed of certificate relates are prescribed costs under paragraph 16(4) of Schedule 8 to the Act and so are not to be regarded as relevant costs to be taken into account in determining the amount of a service charge payable under a relevant lease of premises in that building and must not be met from a relevant reserve fund as defined in paragraph 10 of Schedule 8 to the Act.”.
