| Flats are what you in the US call apartments.
"Council tenants" are low paid people who cannot afford to buy a house or flat of their own, nor can they afford to rent in the private sector. Local councils in England provide low cost housing for such people, hence the term, "council tenants".
As I mentioned the law now says that for every new housing development over 15 units, the builder must provide a number of units for social housing for low paid council tenants.
