Tenant satisfaction - your voice, our action

The Regulator of Social Housing has introduced a set of measures for all social housing landlords, like us, which we are required to report on every year. These are called Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs), and they tell you how well we are doing in providing our housing service to you. The percentages for some of the TSMs comes from your direct feedback in the annual tenant satisfaction survey. Below we've also added some other data from our performance information that we collect and report on monthly.
