Social Rented Housing: Carpets

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of social rented properties which do not include floor coverings in all habitable rooms on the health of tenants.

Answer

Landlords must ensure homes are of a decent standard and investigate and respond to complaints quickly. All residents have the right to a safe, warm and decent home. If residents are unhappy, they can contact the Housing Ombudsman.

The Government is currently reviewing the Decent Homes Standard and has been considering the question of floor coverings in social housing as part of this work.
