RSH warns council to make fundamental changes for tenants
What was announced
The Regulator of Social Housing published regulatory judgements for 15 landlords today, including a C4 for Haringey London Borough Council (LBC)
Key points, in the publisher's words
- Haringey London Borough Council must make fundamental changes to deliver improved outcomes for its tenants, the Regulator of Social Housing has warned.
- The north London local authority was given a C4 consumer grade today after RSH ’s inspection found very serious failings.
- Although Haringey LBC had indicated a willingness to address issues and taken some action, RSH has not yet seen sufficient evidence that it understands the potential risk to tenants and is able to put matters right.
Figures in this announcement
Each line is quoted from the original. Figures are as the publisher stated them on the day.
- “Almost 4,000 remedial fire safety actions are overdue – including more than 1,400 actions categorised as high risk.”
- “The for-profit landlord owns around 1,400 shared ownership homes, the majority of which are in the south west, south east and London, managed by third party property managers.”
- “RSH does not give grades to small landlords (under 1,000 homes) and only publishes regulatory judgements where it considers there to be serious weaknesses or failings in a landlord’s delivery of the outcomes of the standards.”
