Consultation Response
In relation to The Regulator for Social Housing’s Consumer Standards consultation we as
the BME London Landlords Tenants Forum endorse the London Tenants Federation’s
submission to the RSH Consumer Standards Consultation Submission.
In principle we welcome all steps that are likely to improve the repairs service to tenants,
and landlords’ arrangements to involve and empower tenants.
We hope the Regulator will be proactive in ensuring improvements are forthcoming.
We would point out, however, that social housing has been neglected and underfunded
for over forty years. We therefore strongly recommend that the government provide
increased funding to councils and housing associations to enable these improvements to
happen.
