De-registration requirements

Any private registered provider can apply to the regulator for de-registration at any time, as long as they have grounds to do so under the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 (the Act). There is no restriction on when a de-registered provider can re-apply for registration.

Section 119 of the Act sets out the grounds on which a private registered provider can apply to the regulator to be de-registered. These are that the private registered provider:

• no longer is or intends to be a provider of social housing in England
• is subject to regulation by another authority whose control is likely to be sufficient, or
• meets any relevant criteria for de-registration set by the regulator (as below)

De-registration criteria

The de-registration criteria established by the regulator under Section 119 of the Act are that satisfactory arrangements are in place to ensure:

• the continued protection of tenants
• there is no misuse of public funds.
