Good to recently attend completion of more new affordable housing at the Manchester Living Rent in North Manchester. These 12 x 3 bed large family homes for local residents have been built by Irwell Valley Homes on council owned brownfield land in Higher Blackley as part of Project 500. 🏡

Awaab’s Law is already helping to drive up standards in the social housing sector. We’re now moving to extend it to private landlords so that England’s 11 million private renters can enjoy the same protections. www.gov.uk/government/c...

Extending Awaab's Law to private rented tenancies and to licences

We are seeking views on proposals to apply Awaab's Law to private rented tenancies and to accommodation occupied under licence.
