Housing and Regeneration Act 2008

The Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 is a UK law that modernized how social housing and regeneration are managed. It established the Homes and Communities Agency (now the Regulator of Social Housing), set standards for landlords, and streamlined processes for housing development and improvement projects. The Act aims to improve housing quality, increase supply, and promote regeneration of communities, ensuring tenants’ rights are protected and that public funds are used effectively to create sustainable, vibrant neighborhoods.
