What does 'Housing Management' mean?

Traditionally, housing management was (and still is) linked with practical, operational issues like rent collection, allocation, and maintenance. Still, later on, non-operational responsibilities and activities like increasing liveability, community involvement, and portfolio development were included. Technical management (maintenance, renovation, etc. ), social control (housing distribution, marketing, etc. ), financial management (treasury, rent policy), and tenure management are some of the tasks that fall under the umbrella of housing management (letting, buying, selling). However, housing Management is concerned mainly with the management of tenants and leaseholders across the sector, including the allocation of housing to new and existing tenants, preparing appropriate tenancy agreements, and providing housing support, information, and advice.
