Failing landlords to be named and shamed as government steps up support for social housing tenants

Today the Government has announced new measures to publicly name and shame failing social housing providers – giving residents a stronger voice and driving up standards.

Everyone deserves to live in a safe and decent home and it is unacceptable that anyone should have mould covering their walls, risk slipping on a wet floor, or have water dripping from the ceiling.
 
That is why today the Government has announced new legislation to toughen up the regulation of social housing. Landlords who fail to meet acceptable living standards will be publicly named and shamed, while tenants will be able to have their say on how to improve the quality of social housing through the Residents Panel.
 
This package will help to deliver on the Government's commitment in the Levelling Up White Paper to halve the number of non-decent rented homes by 2030, improving the quality of housing as the country build's back better.
