Issue details
Tenant and Leaseholder Health and Safety Policies
The adoption of new tenant and leaseholder health and safety compliance policies for fire safety, water hygiene, gas and electrical safety, passenger lists and asbestos.
The proposed policies reflect both the statutory requirements on landlords for tenant and leaseholder health and safety and industry best practice.
The policies are written to reflect the decision of the Cabinet on 17 February 2020 to deliver the council’s tenant and leaseholder services in house and terminate the agreement with east Kent Housing. The new policies will be in place ready for the launch of the new service.
The report proposes that the policies are kept under review to enable a process of continual improvement in performance and recommends a formal policy review every 2 years.
