Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008
Public bill · Government · Presented
Sets out clearer rules for how local authorities plan housing services, assess households for social housing, allocate homes, support homeless people and manage rents and tenancies. It creates routes for tenants and eligible households to buy council or affordable homes, including apartments, while protecting public investment through resale conditions and charges. It also requires strategies on anti-social behaviour and homelessness, strengthens minimum standards for rented homes, and allows authorities to order landlords to make repairs or stop re-letting unsafe homes.
