Southdown tenant

It is important to us that our tenants, as well as other stakeholders, are able to openly access information to review our performance as a landlord to provide safe and secure homes.

As well as the information provided on this page, you may also find information in the Openness and Transparency page on our website useful.

Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) Results for 2023-24

The Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) have been introduced by the Regulator of Social Housing in England as a means of assessing how well landlords are doing in providing good quality homes and services. To comply with this new reporting and gain feedback on our performance as a landlord, we shared a survey with our tenants and clients of our care and support services over the summer of 2023.  Download our Tenant Satisfaction Measures Report for 2023-2024 here for more information.
