Scotland has a new, independent housing regulator. From next April its role will be to safeguard and promote the interests of tenants and others who receive housing services from local authorities and housing associations. It will replace the existing regulator.
Before taking on its role, the new Scottish Housing Regulator is consulting on its approach. It wants to hear the views of tenants, landlords and others with an interest in social housing.
Kay Blair is the new Regulator’s Chair. Kay said: “The quality of housing and landlord services have a direct and lasting impact on people’s lives. We will regulate to protect tenants’ interests and to drive improvements in social housing. We will assess each landlord’s performance regularly. In doing so, we will take account of the views and experiences of its tenants. We will publish a range of information on landlords’ performance, including progress against the Scottish Government's new Social Housing Charter. This will help tenants to hold their landlord to account. And we will take action where we find a landlord is failing to deliver for tenants.
The new Regulator would like to get wide feedback on its proposed approach. The consultation runs from early September. You can respond until late November.
There will also be events across the country, open to tenants and others, to discuss the proposals. You can get a copy of the proposals and find out more about the events by visiting the new Regulator’s website, following the consultation on Twitter or contacting its office.
