Since 2017, which meant there was a huge gap. There was no regulation either. The regulation in place now is voluntary, and even within that code only a certain number of organisations are doing what is necessary. Human rights did not come into it. At least local authority tenants had the benefit of housing as a right until fairly lately. That did not apply in this case. The AHBs were in a limbo land in respect of tenant disputes, etc.
