PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(4 December 2024)

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will issue guidance to registered social housing providers which confirms that if a floor covering exists in a property when the tenancy changes over that the default will be to keep it as part of the Decent Homes Standard.

Asked by:
Jayne Kirkham (Labour)

There is currently no legislation that requires social housing landlords to provide floor coverings and landlords are not required to remove floor coverings when a home is let to new tenants.

The government will consult on a new Decent Homes Standard next year.
