Shared ownership and the Renters' Rights Act: letter to registered providers of social housing

Information note for registered providers

Details

The Renters' Rights Act has implications for shared ownership, including how registered providers of social housing handle subletting permissions.

The letter from the Minister for Housing and Planning, and accompanying information note from MHCLG, draws attention to the actions that registered providers may need to take to align with the Renters' Rights Act and indicates changes that will be made to the Capital Funding Guides to support this.

In addition, the letter outlines some of the wider changes that have been made to shared ownership through the launch of the Social and Affordable Homes Programme.
