Reviews the government's plans for the future of social housing, as outlined in the DETR guide to social rent reform, and the response of registered social landlords. RSLs have welcomed the increased flexibility in the approach to rent restructuring; that they will be able to produce their own valuations; five percent bandings; and that the Housing Corporation will be able to give waivers or derogations to struggling RSLs. Concern has been expressed, however, that every RSL will have to present an annual restructuring report to the Housing Corporation; about the Housing Corporation's ability to meet expectations as regulator; and what format the review proposed by the government for three years time will take.
