We would again like to thank everyone who took the time to complete and return the 2023 tenant satisfaction survey and share some of the results with you.
Your feedback helps us understand what we do well and areas we can improve on over the next two years.
41% of our tenants completed the survey and said…
What we do well:
- 90% of respondents are satisfied with the quality of our housing services
- 86% of respondents are satisfied with the overall condition of their home
- 88% of respondents are satisfied with our repairs and maintenance services
- 92% of respondents are satisfied that we uphold your rights
What we improved on since the 2021 survey:
- 9% more respondents reported they knew how to make a complaint
- 6% more respondents reported they knew how to appeal a decision
- 13% more respondents reported they are satisfied we listen and act on tenants view
Some things for us to work on…
Your Top 3 and Our Plan

2) Improve our communication with tenants when maintenance work is not completed straight away
HOW

3) Engage you in our decision-making
HOW
