A Fairer Deal for English Social Housing Tenants

This blog is aimed at people who live in social housing, work in social housing or who have an interest in social housing for example, students, academics or community groups.

Social housing is a net for individuals and families who otherwise would for whatever reason find it extremely difficult to enter the private sector.

Over the years the standard of social housing has improved significantly and in England is regulated by the Tenant Services Authority.  From 1 April 2010 a common set of standards was introduced which all social housing landlords must comply with.

The Tenant Services Authority are the backbone of this new regulation and will ensure that all tenants are being treated fairly and that where landlords are not meeting expected standards their is a procedure to ensure issues are resolved.

This blog will talk about issues concerning social housing management, legislation and government proposals.

Comments are greatly welcomed by all stakeholders, particularly social housing tenants and service providers.  I am also looking for writers for the blog, so please get in touch if you would like to be a regular contributor.
