Scottish Housing Regulator

The Scottish Housing Regulator is a public body responsible for overseeing social landlords—such as housing associations and local authorities—that provide affordable housing in Scotland. Its role is to ensure these organizations operate effectively, manage rent and maintenance fairly, and deliver good quality homes and services to tenants. The regulator sets standards, monitors performance, and intervenes if an organization faces difficulties. Its ultimate goal is to protect tenants' interests, promote transparency, and support the provision of safe, well-managed, and affordable housing across Scotland.
