The UK stipulates laws such as the Housing Act and the Housing Reorganization Act to ensure the stable provision and management of social housing. However, a fire incident that occurred in a high-rise apartment in the UK in 2017, where low-income people and immigrants mainly lived, served as an opportunity to reexamine potential safety problems in social housing. In particular, this case raised the need to improve the government's method of regulating social housing, as the number of victims could have been reduced if minimum safety measures had been in place. In response to this incident, a law was enacted in 2023 to improve the safety of social housing and the living environment of tenants, strengthening the role of social housing regulatory agencies. The law is expected to be a catalyst for a proactive approach to regulating social housing and taking action against landlords who do not meet standards. In this paper, analyze the main contents of the 2023 Social Housing (Regulation) Act) and introduce the provisions of the law for the protection of social housing tenants. As bills related to the management of apartment complexes and the government's bill to support joint management costs for permanent social housing are still pending in the Korea National Assembly, the UK's revised law on the facility management of apartment complexes by regulatory agencies can be used as a reference for the legislative aspect.
