PRPSHs and housing associations
This section looks at aspects of private registered providers of social housing (PRPSHs), formerly known as registered social landlords (RSLs).
It considers their legal status, their management and funding, and other issues relevant to their tenants. It examines how they allocate properties and the kinds of tenancy and other occupancy arrangements that they offer. It also considers how PRPSHs may seek possession, and describes how tenants can complain about a PRPSH.
Where relevant, differences between the regulations applying to PRPSHs in England and Wales are stated. This section does not look at housing co-operatives in detail; more information on housing co-operatives can be found in the section on Housing co-operatives.
