Get ready for regulation

After its passage through Parliament, the Social Housing (Regulation) Bill received Royal Assent, becoming the Social Housing (Regulation) Act on 20 July 2023. One crucial aspect of reform is the transformation of the consumer regulation role of the Regulator of Social Housing. 

In July 2023, the Social Housing (Regulation) Act received Royal Assent in Parliament making a host of reforms to sector law.

One of these reforms will be to empower the Regulator of Social Housing to proactively monitor and drive landlords’ compliance with enhanced consumer standards.

The Regulator has published a consultation seeking input on a set of consumer standards, likely to apply from April 2024. These include:

  • The Safety and Quality Standard
  • The Transparency, Influence and Accountability Standard
  • The Neighbourhood and Community Standard
  • The Tenancy Standard.
