Regulate

Our regulatory activities include:

• collecting and analysing financial and performance information about individual registered social landlords, and the sector as whole;

• considering applications for consent for changes to a registered social landlord’s constitution, disposals of land or property, or to amalgamate or dissolve the organisation;

• checking compliance with restrictions on payments and benefits.

We issue guidance about each of these requirements so it is clear what we expect registered social landlords to do. Registered social landlords need to be fully aware of these requirements, and comply with them all.

We also inspect registered social landlords and the landlord and homelessness services of local authorities to provide an independent external assessment of the effectiveness of housing service delivery and make recommendations to help landlords improve.

Where necessary to protect the interests of tenants, we may need to use statutory powers to intervene in a registered social landlord.
