Below are the six main components of what the new Building Safety Bill means for tenants:
1. Give residents a stronger voice.
2. Create a Building Safety Regulator to oversee improvements in building safety and higher risk buildings.
3. Create an ‘Accountable Person’ directly responsible for keeping residents safe in all higher risk buildings.
4. Give residents access to important safety information about their building.
5. Introduce a new complaints handling process and Homes Ombudsman scheme to make sure effective action is taken where concerns are raised.
6. Additional risk assessments will be carried out on all our properties.
