Reason

The Council, as a landlord, has many legal obligations it must satisfy to ensure the health, safety and welfare of its tenants. It must also adhere to the regulatory standards as set out by the Regulator of Social Housing, particularly the Home Standard.

Councillors should also have oversight and assurance of compliance against the legal and regulatory requirements that are placed upon it through this annual report to Cabinet.
