A Good Landlord Charter – described as the first of its kind in the UK – is being created by a string of bodies, including groups representing tenants.
Former Labour Cabinet minister Andy Burnham, now mayor of Greater Manchester, is leading the project which he says will include “registered providers, trade bodies, and renters’ groups.”
A statement from Burnham’s office says the Good Landlord Charter will “reaffirm Greater Manchester’s commitment to deliver safe, decent, and affordable housing for all residents, and acknowledge that housing is fundamental to people’s health and wellbeing.”
