Details

This document is an addition to the Sector Risk Profile 2019. It supplements the section on rents and reiterates some of the themes set out in the addendum to the Sector Risk Profile 2018 on lease-based providers of specialised supported housing.

The note is primarily aimed at private registered providers of social housing but is also relevant to other stakeholders including local authority registered providers in preparation for the new Rent Standard, which took effect from 1 April 2020. The addendum also sets out what the sector can expect from the Regulator of Social Housing with regard to regulation of rent requirements in future.

RSH issued a press notice about the addendum.

The Rent Standard can be found on the Rent Standard page
