Tenant Satisfaction Measures

Results of Tenant Satisfaction Measures 23-24

The perception measures results below are for tenants only and not leaseholders or shared owners because we do not meet the threshold of having 1,000+ of these homes. A2 Dominion tenants are also excluded (because we do not own these homes). This is in line with the Regulators requirements which requires landlords to report back where they have 1,000 or more properties of either rented or low cost homeownership.

We have added in detail of the only comparison data currently available, which is the Housemark data collected halfway through the financial year 2023/24. Once the Regulator publishes national data, we will update this comparison data.

The satisfaction result includes those that have answered very or fairly satisfied and the negative response rate those that answered very or fairly dissatisfied. Neutral response rate is those that answered neither satisfied or dissatisfied or where they answered don’t know.
