Social Tenant Access to Information Requirement - Understanding New Tenant Rights to Access Information from Housing Providers
Hey everyone, I recently came across a blog that does a great job explaining the new Social Tenant Access to Information Requirements (STAIRs) coming into force for housing associations and private registered providers. It seems like a big step towards transparency, giving tenants the right to request information about how their homes are managed—from governance to repairs and spending.
It's interesting because this is different from the usual Freedom of Information rights that local councils have. STAIRs specifically target housing associations and aim to empower tenants in a way that wasn't possible before. If you want to know more details and how this might affect you as a tenant or landlord, this blog explains the requirements and what tenants should expect:
Would love to hear if anyone here has started engaging with these requirements or has questions about them!
