Notice

This standard no longer applies.

It was superseded on 1 April 2024 by the Safety and Quality Standard.

The latest versions of all our standards are available by visiting Regulatory standards for landlords.

The Home Standard sets expectations for registered providers of social housing to provides tenants with quality accommodation and a cost-effective repairs and maintenance service.

The Regulator of Social Housing’s role is to set the consumer standards and to intervene where failure to meet the standards has caused, or could have caused, serious harm to tenants.

You can view all 4 consumer standards and the 3 economic standards on the regulatory standards page.
