The Equality and Human Rights Commission has published guidance that explains how human rights law can help Britain’s social housing providers deliver the best possible service to tenants.
“Human Rights at Home: guidance for social housing providers” gives practical advice on how the Human Rights Act relates to issues including allocation of housing, the terms of tenancy agreements, repairs and maintenance, and anti-social behaviour. While social housing providers are obliged to comply with the Human Rights Act in dealing with their tenants and others, the guidance makes it clear that this law does not give people a right to housing or prevent landlords from taking proportionate action if tenants do not pay their rent or engage in anti-social behaviour.
