How Magenta Living is regulated
Magenta Living is regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) under the framework established by the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008. Any complaints against the organisation are escalated to the independent Housing Ombudsman Service if not resolved through internal channels.

What the Housing Ombudsman record shows
The figures published by the Housing Ombudsman show that there have been 32 decisions involving Magenta Living since the service began collecting data. Notably, none of these decisions have resulted in a severe maladministration finding, which is reserved for cases where significant or persistent failings are identified by the regulator. The published record indicates that no serious systemic issues have been determined against Magenta Living.
What this means for Magenta Living tenants
Tenants should consider following their landlord's complaints process if they encounter any issues with their housing situation. If a resolution isn't reached within eight weeks, or after requesting a final response from the landlord, tenants may escalate their concerns to the Housing Ombudsman Service at no cost. Tenants in this position may be entitled to additional support under Awaab's Law for damp and mould complaints since October 2025, as well as protection under the Decent Homes Standard.
