Housing health and safety standards in the PRS being modernised

Property Wire | July 15, 2019

The Housing Health Safety Rating System (HHSRS) used to assess health and safety in residential properties it to be reformed to make it more accessible for landlords and tenants. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) said the system will be simpler, making it easier for the sector to understand the hazards that could put tenants’ health at risk. Action can be taken against landlords if they do not meet the standards and the changes are a result of a consultation that looked at three options. The result is that the HHSRS will be improved, clarified, and modernized and correct what has been perceived as a disconnect between the HHSRS and other legislative standards. The standards will be enforced by local authorities. ‘The Government will proceed with option two as this will make the system easier to understand for landlords and tenants, correct the disconnect between the HHSRS and other legislative standards, and facilitate the effective enforcement of housing standards by local authorities. It is also the most cost-effective option,’ said a spokesperson for the MHCLG.
