HHSRS is an England and Wales framework and does not apply in Scotland. The equivalent duties come from the Repairing Standard (private rented) and the Tolerable Standard, with the Scottish Housing Quality Standard for social homes. Kaarr runs the correct framework per nation, so cross-border portfolios stay consistent.
