How we collect this information
We talk to tenants every month to measure their satisfaction with our services and their homes. In line with the regulator's Tenant Satisfaction Measures, we speak to a random selection of tenants, regardless of how recently they have required our services, to understand their perception of us and our services. This is undertaken by an external organisation, MEL Research.
Alongside MEL Research, we have worked hard to make sure that those spoken to are truly representative of all of our tenants. That means we ensure we speak to more people who rent our general needs properties as they make up the vast majority of our homes. We also make sure to speak to tenants of all ages and ethnicities, again ensuring feedback captured is representative of our tenant base.
