Violation Description: Regulatory notice served. The regulator has concluded that: Westmoreland is not compliant with the Rent Standard. It maintains that the majority of its stock is excepted from the requirements of the Rent Standard on the basis that it provides Specialist Supported Housing (SSH). However, it has been unable to provide adequate assurance that the accommodation it provides meets the government's definition of SSH. Prior to the introduction of the Rent Standard, between 1 April 2016 and 31 March 2020, Westmoreland was required to comply with the legislative requirements of the Welfare Reform and Work Act 2016 (WRWA). Westmoreland claimed an exception under the terms of the Act but it has been unable to demonstrate that it met the exception criteria during this period.
