We recognise their hard work in maintaining and improving those homes and responding to residents' needs.</p><p>We expect all registered providers of social housing, including local authorities, to make sure that their properties are well managed and of appropriate quality. They must comply with the regulatory standards set by the independent Regulator of Social Housing. This requires landlords to provide a cost-effective repairs and maintenance service that responds to the needs of and offers choices to tenants and has the objective of getting repairs and improvements right the first time.</p><p>The Social Housing Regulation Bill, which is currently going through Parliament, will empower the Regulator to have greater scrutiny over all registered providers, including local authorities, proactively assuring itself that they are meeting consumer regulation standards, including those concerning access to repairs. The Regulator will be given stronger enforcement powers to use where registered providers, including local authorities, do not meet the standards.</p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 11/10/2022 14:31:50 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully
