Existing legislation (the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008) gave the social housing regulator the power to appoint managers or officers (usually as members of the Board) to a private registered provider under certain circumstances. This section amends the Housing and Regeneration 2008 so that the Social Housing Regulator may only appoint a new manager to a non-profit private registered provider where there has been a breach of legal requirements (imposed by legislation or regulatory standards). This circumscribes more tightly the existing provisions whilst still enabling the regulator to take action where a private registered provider, or its tenants, are at risk.
