Whether or not accommodation is \u2018exempt\u2019 is a matter for local authority housing benefit departments. The Regulator of Social Housing regulates only those landlords that wish to register with it and who are able to meet its registration requirements (other than local authorities who own homes who are automatically registered). This includes being able to demonstrate that it is a provider of homes at rents below market levels. Not all providers of exempt accommodation provide sub-market rent.<\/p>
The Department has not made an estimate of the number of properties that are ineligible for registration or an estimate of what proportion have been investigated by the Regulator of Social Housing and have subsequently resulted in penalties.<\/p>
Exempt accommodation is often delivered through providers entering into short-term lease agreements with private landlords or property owners. The regulator issued a report in 2019 setting out its concerns about this type of \u201clease-based\u201d supported housing.<\/p>
There are 11 lease-based providers of supported housing that currently have either non-compliant regulatory judgements or notices.<\/p>
The Government is clear that all supported housing \u2013 both the accommodation and support \u2013 must be of good quality and meet the needs of the vulnerable people it supports. We will continue to work closely with local government and the sector to develop a range of oversight measures to help ensure this is the case.<\/p>
