The Government has set a mission to halve the number of non-decent rented homes by 2030.
The Social Housing (Regulation) Bill currently in parliament will introduce measures to improve the quality of social housing, including a new, proactive consumer regulation regime. Recent amendments to the Bill introduced 'Awaab's Law', which will introduce new requirements for social landlords to address hazards in the home within a fixed time period.
Our forthcoming reforms to private renting will improve conditions more broadly for properties in the sector.
