The Department for Levelling-Up, Housing and Communities have launched a new consultation on A Decent Homes Standard in the private rented sector.
The Department for Levelling-Up, Housing and Communities have launched a new consultation on A Decent Homes Standard in the private rented sector. This consultation seeks views on the introduction and enforcement of a Decent Homes Standard in the private rented sector in England.
On 16 June 2022, The DLUHC published A fairer private rented sector – a landmark white paper for the private rented sector – which sets out this government’s commitment to introduce a legally binding Decent Homes Standard to the private rented sector for the first time.
This will improve parity with the social rented sector where there has been a decent homes standard in place since 2001. The system will also be fairer for good landlords by making sure those who do not treat their tenants fairly are no longer able to get away with it, tarnishing the reputation of the sector as a whole.
You are invited to take part in the consultation here.
