Decent Homes Standard

Summary

The UK government aims to address the issue of non-decent housing conditions, particularly in the private rented sector, which poses risks to tenant health and wellbeing. The proposed approach involves updating the Decent Homes Standard and extending its application to both the Social and Private Rented Sectors, with implementation targeted for 2035. This initiative is currently in the planning stage, with an impact assessment under review by the Regulatory Policy Committee, which rated it "Not fit for purpose" due to concerns about the justification of the preferred option.
