The Scottish Housing Quality Standard is a set of criteria which all landlords, including River Clyde Homes must ensure they meet by 2015. It differs from the ‘Tolerable Standard’, the basic standard of acceptability, and the Building Standards as they apply to new housing and is based on a number of broad quality criteria. To meet the standard the house must be: compliant with the tolerable standard; free from serious disrepair; energy efficient; provided with modern facilities and services, and healthy, safe and secure.
