Private Rented Housing: Safety
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether his Department plans to commission a (a) review and (b) redraft of the housing health and safety rating system guidance, published on 23 August 2006.
- Answer
-
Reviewing and updating the HHSRS is integral to the government's commitment to ensuring that everyone has a safe and decent standard of housing free from dangerously hazardous conditions.
The review aims to streamline the process that local councils take in inspecting properties to assess hazards and, make it easier for landlords and tenants to understand the standards required, supporting increased compliance. This included reviewing the statutory Operating and Enforcement Guidance.
We will make any announcements in the usual way.
