Apparently there is a UK law that protects that quality of housing for ‘poor’ tenants, but the definition of who is ‘poor’ and protected by the law hasn’t been updated since the 1950s, and as a result the law currently only protects tenants who pay less than £80 a year in rent, i.e. precisely no-one is protected. Also apparently the outside of the building was recently clad in thermal insulation foam which it will turn out was highly flammable.
