What is STAIRs?

STAIRs stands for Social Tenants Access to Information Requirement scheme. It is a new standard introduced by the UK Government to enhance transparency for tenants of private sector social housing providers, such as Cambridge Housing Society. The consultation period for STAIRs ended in July 2024, and the government is currently finalising the legislation.

The exact date for when STAIRs will come into law has not been announced yet, however we will continue to update this web page with latest information as it becomes available.

Much of the information that we are required to publish under STAIRs is already available on this website. To make it easier for you to find, we’ve organised the information using the STAIRs classifications below, including links to relevant pages on our website.
