LANDLORDS COWER IN FEAR OF MAOTRAIN

MODERATORS
if you are a landlord (parasitic filth) you can register with a regulator or the local council to offer the property as social housing
generally they are supposed to be held to certain standards and be inspected etc.
but pretty much every council has a waiting list ~5-10 years long because thatcher sold a shitload off, so they usually fast track them through, so the tenant gets miserable and sick, and the slumlord gets rich
Also because the UK forgot how to build anything that's not a giant glass dildo for investment banks around 1980
At least in my county, the council doesn't really interact with or take responsibility for social housing. It was solely that social housing was offered to low-income families and that it's supposed to be charged at 75% market rate.
In fairness, most social housing is owned by supposedly not-for-profit organisations, but they're still typically making rich people rich and screwing over poor people.
