Extend the Freedom of Information Act to Registered Social Landlords (RSLs)

Petition Details

RSLs exercise functions similar to those of local authorities but are not subject to the same scrutiny. This right could enable tenants and residents to obtain risk assessments, safety certificates, and other documents vital to holding RSLs (and their subsidiaries) to account.

Additional Information

This goal can be achieved by amending the Renters (Reform) Bill to designate RSLs (and their subsidiaries) in England and Wales as public authorities for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act.

In Scotland, RSLs are already designated public authorities for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act.
