The government has launched a consultation on the rights of social housing tenants to request information from their landlords on the management of their homes.

The consultation, which the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) opened yesterday, will be used to develop rules regarding access to information for social housing tenants.

For the first time, the rules will permit social housing tenants or their representatives, such as lawyers, to request information about the management of their homes at no cost.
