Part 4: Social Housing in England Chapter 4: Reducing Regulation of Social Housing Etc Schedule 4: Reducing social housing regulation
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.
