Decent Homes

Landlords need to make sure that tenants’ homes meet and are maintained to current Decent Homes Standard and must take all reasonable step to ensure the health and safety of tenants in their homes.

  • Housing quality and the standards that guide this
  • What the national picture looks like
  • Electrical safety and the housing health and safety rating system (HHRS)
