You can apply for a remediation contribution order (RCO) if you are a leaseholder or someone with a legal or equitable interest in an eligible building. Right to Manage and residents management companies, local authorities, certain regulators and other interested persons can also apply.
You can make your application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) using form BSA2.
Who can I get an RCO against?
RCOs can be made against your current landlord or your landlord on 14 February 2022, the developer, or anyone associated with them. But they must be in a company or partnership. Individuals cannot be subject to an RCO.
What evidence and information do I need?
Before you make an application, you will need to have evidence:
- that you and your building are eligible
- that the order you are seeking is against someone legally liable to contribute to the costs of remediation work
- of remediation work needed or carried out
- for the contribution amount you are seeking
You will also need to say who should receive the awarded funds and how they would use them.
Outcomes
The First-tier Tribunal can make an RCO if it considers it ‘just and equitable’ to do so.
