TSA Local Standards Plan Slapped Down

Landlords have warned the social housing regulator they are baffled by its plans for local housing standards because it has provided such vague guidance on how they would operate. They expressed their concern in responses to the TSA’s consultation on its new regulatory framework. The consultation document states providers and tenants will be required to develop a ‘local offer’ which reflects the priorities in different areas. The TSA wants the offers to be put into effect by October this year. But it has steadfastly refused to define what it means by ‘local’ because it wants landlords and tenants to work together to draw up plans. Find the full story on the Inside Housing website.
