Tenancy service: standards
If you are a new tenant we will:
- carry out a comprehensive sign up which incorporates a Financial Health Check
- carry out an Employment Health Check and offer advice and an appointment with a partner agency
- provide you with a housing benefit assessment and verify your claim at sign up
- ensure your Neighbourhood Officer visits you within 28 days of your tenancy start to make sure you have settled in and check all follow on repairs have been carried out
- provide you with a satisfaction questionnaire and focus group invite to enable you to share your feedback with us.
We will measure these standards by: focus groups and performance reporting to Neighbourhood Performance Panels.
When managing your tenancy we will:
- have a nominated Neighbourhood Officer for every home
- ensure your Neighbourhood Officer visits you within two weeks of your request
- make sure your Neighbourhood Officer carries out a walkabout with residents to identify issues of concern at least monthly on every patch
- provide you, through your Neighbourhood Officer, with a quarterly newsletter about issues in your area
- complete all tenancy amendments, assignments or successions within one week when all information is received.
We will measure these standards by: mystery shopping and performance reporting to Neighbourhood Performance Panels.
