Structure of the Act Part 2 – Regulation of Social Housing General provisions Section 124 – Complaints
289.Section 124 amends section 51 of, and Schedule 2 to, the Housing Act 1996 (schemes for investigation of complaints by housing ombudsman). This ensures that the former registered providers of social housing, and bodies formerly registered with the Housing Corporation, are only required to remain members of a housing ombudsman scheme while they continue to own publicly-funded dwellings.
