Hello,
What happens if the work carried out by a landlord under the section 20 process does not match the reason for works set out in the initial S20 Notice of Intention to carry out works?
In our case, the landlord issued an S20 notice of intention to replace external cladding "to meet with government guidance and regulation" on our apartment block. But we already have a fire engineers report and EWS1 form that confirms the cladding is already compliant and no further works are required. I suspect the landlord is seeking Building Safety Fund money to partially pay for optional external decoration works.
Do we have any protection via S20 since the actual works (optional external decoration) aren't in line with the reason for works (required works to meet regulations) set out in the Section 20 notice of intention?
Thanks!
