The regulator's verdict
The Regulator of Social Housing grades landlords on how well they look after tenants (consumer standards, C1 best to C4 worst) and, for housing associations, on governance (G) and financial viability (V).
Councils are graded on consumer standards only. A grade is a snapshot at the date shown; the regulator publishes updates as it inspects.
