The Hazards in Social Housing (Prescribed Requirements) (England) Regulations 2025

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

What to do with it
As published

17 Provision of safety advice

(1) This regulation applies unless the lessor has reasonable grounds to believe that the social home will be unoccupied for the whole of the assumed rehousing period. (2) The lessor must give the lessee a document setting out the information mentioned in paragraph (3) before the end of the initial remediation period or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. (3) The information that must be given under paragraph (2) is— (a) where the lessor considers that action by an occupier can sufficiently mitigate the risk of harm, information about any action that can, for the time being, reasonably be taken, or avoided, by occupiers of the social home to sufficiently mitigate the risk of harm until the relevant safety work is completed, or (b) where sub-paragraph (a) does not apply— (i) a statement that the lessor does not think that any such steps can sufficiently mitigate the risk until that time, and (ii) information about any action that can, for the time being, reasonably be taken, or avoided, by occupiers of the social home to reduce the risk of harm until the relevant safety work is completed. (4) In this regulation, “sufficiently mitigate the risk of harm” means to reduce the risk of harm to the health or safety of an occupier posed by a significant hazard or emergency hazard to a level that, in the reasonable opinion of the lessor, is tolerable for continued occupation. (5) Regulation 10 applies to the giving of a document required to be given to the lessee under paragraph (2) as it applies to the giving of a document required to be given to the lessee under regulation 9.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
