Recommendation 7

The Government’s focus on holding social housing providers responsible for remediating building safety work is producing an unhelpful disparity between the private and social housing sectors. There is no justification for private sector landlords to be treated more favourably. We once again reiterate the recommendation from our 2020 Report, The Regulation of Social Housing, that “Social housing providers must have exactly the same access to funds for building safety remediation as private sector landlords.”
