The Housing Act 2004 modernised UK housing regulations to tackle substandard private rental properties. Key components include the introduction of the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) to assess potential risks to tenants' health and safety. It also established licensing schemes for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) to ensure better management and safety standards. The Act instituted Tenancy Deposit Schemes to protect renters' deposits, providing more transparency and redress mechanisms. Additionally, it gave local authorities more power to address poor housing conditions, shaping a more regulated and secure housing market.
