The tenant satisfaction measures (TSMs) are part of a government system to assess how well social housing landlords are doing at providing good quality homes and services. Brought into effect in April 2023, these new measures are aimed at helping improve standards for social housing residents, by:
- Providing visibility and transparency – letting tenants see how well their landlord is doing, and enabling them to hold their landlords to account
- Giving the Regulator insight into which landlords might need to make improvements for their tenants
Specifically, they’re designed to see how well landlords are doing across 5 key areas: keeping properties in good repair, maintaining building safety, respectful and helpful engagement, effective handling of complaints and responsible neighbourhood management.
If the TSMs fall under your remit, and you need help or guidance on TSM data collection and reporting, help is at hand. Our social housing experts have experience of designing and delivering TSM surveys and can walk you through the process, delivering independent results that meet regulatory requirements and stand up to scrutiny
If you’re unsure of what is required, our tenant satisfaction measure guide provides full information about the measures and requirements.
