Housing (Regulation) Act 2023, the HO’s complaint handling
code became statutory on 1 April 2024, meaning that landlords are
obliged by law to follow its requirements. Therefore, the Council
needs to complete and publish its self-assessment of its compliance
as part of its annual service report. 

Alternative options considered

alternative options as outlined above, this is a statutory
requirement as set out in the Social Regulation Act
2023.
