Andrew Stunell: The Government wants to see more social tenants able to take control over the management of their homes. Local authority tenants wishing to take over the management of their homes and estates from their landlord have a statutory right to do so under the Housing Act 1985. The Housing (Right to Manage) (England) Regulations 2008 set out the procedures to be followed. Tenants of housing associations can enter into a voluntary agreement with their landlord if they wish to manage their housing. Grant Shapps recently announced plans to make it easier for local authority tenants to exercise their right to manage, as well as an £8 million programme to empower social tenants.
