Frequently Asked Questions
Social housing is affordable rented housing owned by local councils, housing associations or registered providers and allocated to those who meet specified needs. Tenant management covers the full lifecycle of a tenancy — from signing up and rent payment to repairs, community engagement and ending the tenancy. It involves both the landlord’s duties and the tenant’s responsibilities under the tenancy agreement.
As a social tenant in the UK, you have rights such as timely repairs, privacy, information about your tenancy and opportunities to transfer or swap homes (depending on your tenancy type). Responsibilities typically include paying rent on time, looking after your home and abiding by tenancy conditions. More detailed rights and duties vary by local authority and tenure (e.g., secure vs. introductory tenancy).
Tenants should first report maintenance issues to their landlord through the official complaints or repairs process. If the landlord doesn’t resolve the issue satisfactorily, complaints can be escalated to the Housing Ombudsman Service, which independently investigates disputes between tenants and social landlords.
Social landlords are increasingly required to meet Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) and safety standards, reflecting transparency, building safety, repairs performance, and tenant feedback. These measures help ensure landlords deliver safe, quality homes and high-standard tenant management.
Yes — many social housing schemes encourage tenant participation, from feedback surveys to strategic involvement in asset planning and community decisions. In some cases, tenants can form tenant management organisations (TMOs) or take on greater responsibility for specific management functions under agreed frameworks. Such involvement improves service delivery and tenant satisfaction.
