As of 2012, the terms registered social landlord and private registered providers of social housing are both used as alternative names for housing association. Housing associations are generally considered as private entities in that they are not owned or directly controlled by the state.

Really, lol

It doesn’t classify them as a “private landlord” but it does state they are non profit
 
There are only 2 options in a mixed economy like the U.K.:

1) state ownership

2) private ownership

Housing associations are private ownership, so they are private landlords.


Poor NWGS, is getting himself all bent out of shape over something terribly simple.

The other one is joint ownership. Even if that service isn't around now there is still likely to be houses around that are,

To save you the search-

Housing associations are not private landlords. They are what is known as registered providers of social housing

RNLI, Cancer research, national Trust, all Private companies then, then look at all the government sub agencies..

I'd have thought you would bow to the rule of law, Weaver v London & Quadrant Housing Trust [2009] EWCA Civ 235 says Housing associations are public bodies.

The logic of if it's not A it must B would embarrass a 5 year old. Housing associations are also subject to right to acquire (right to buy) rules. Private Landlords aren't.

and the rest of the paragraph says..

Subsequently, the English High Court in Weaver v. London and Quadrant Housing Trust [2008] EWHC 1377 (Admin) ruled that housing associations were public authorities and as a result could be subject to judicial review in certain circumstances.[6] The court stated that the housing association sector was 'permeated by state control and influence with a view to meeting the government's aims for affordable housing, and in which RSLs work side by side with, and can in a very real sense be said to take the place of, local authorities'.

Some are easily led by MB

He usually paints a misleading, if not downright dishonest picture, as long as it suits his view.

As posted earlier,

The issue first came to the fore in 2002 when the Court of Appeal in Poplar Housing and Regeneration Community Association Ltd v Donoghue [2002] QB 48 considered what was a public authority and what was a public function for the purposes of section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998. They held that housing associations were hybrid bodies – part public, part private - so lettings could in some cases be private acts. This was followed by Weaver v London & Quadrant Housing Trust [2009] EWCA Civ 235 which made it clear that not all housing associations are public authorities and not everything they do are public acts. The touchstone is the nature of the act and how close to the State it approaches. Thus, in Donoghue, the housing association was standing in the shoes of the local authority. In Weaver, L&Q accepted that they were susceptible to judicial review as a public body. Both L&Q and Poplar Housing are large entities with substantial resources. They have taken stock transfers from local authorities and thus inherited some of the roles of the local authority. They “feel” very public.

If there was a third option on the poll I wold have gone for that.
