Renters' rights - landlords
Phase 3: timescale to be confirmed
Meeting the Decent Homes Standard
The Decent Homes Standard will be extended to the private rental sector. This means ensuring properties are:
- safe and well-maintained
- free from serious hazards such as damp, faulty wiring, or poor insulation
- fit for human habitation
- meet Awaab’s Law which requires private sector landlords to address damp and mould issues within set timescales
