▤ Verbatim text from source document
The consultation aims to update the Decent Homes Standard which currently applies to social housing. The new standard will also apply to privately rented housing. Every tenant deserves a home that is safe, warm, and decent. The reformed Decent Homes Standard will set out clearly what tenants should expect from their landlords and when it will be implemented.
