Improve your social housing

Improve where you live by making sure your landlord provides what you need.

What is it?

If you’re a social housing tenant, you have the power to make sure your landlord provides the services, support and advice you need.

This means that you can take a bigger role in your community by looking at your landlord’s performance and negotiating improvements. You’ll be able to help resolve local complaints, run a maintenance service, or even take on the management of local housing services.

How can I get involved?

You can play a bigger role in your community by:

  • getting training and support to challenge your landlord
  • setting up a tenant panel where you live
  • helping to shape services
  • managing a housing service or repairs budget
  • exercising your ‘Right to Manage’, which lets council tenants take over management of local housing services
