Tenant Participation

Tenant participation gives Angus tenants a real influence over how housing services are run 🏡. It helps the council understand what works well ✅, what needs improvement 🔧, and how tenants want to be involved.

Our Tenant Participation Strategy sets out how we work in partnership with tenants.

Our Housing Charter report card shows how we are performing.

Ways to Get Involved 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

Consultations 💬

• Tenants are asked for their views on proposed changes (e.g. rent 💷, repairs 🔨, policies 📄).
• Feedback is reviewed and reported to the Housing Committee 🏛️.
• Councillors use this to make decisions, and tenants are told how their input shaped the outcome ✅.

Tenants’ & Residents’ Groups 👥

• Local groups where tenants work together on housing issues 🏘️.
• Groups can become Registered Tenants Organisations (RTOs), giving them a formal role in decision‑making 📢.
• RTOs can apply for grant funding 💰 and receive support from the council 🤝.
• A public register lists all RTOs and includes guidance and application forms 📋.

Tenant‑Led Inspections (Scrutiny) 🔍

• Tenants review how well services are working—such as repairs 🔨, complaints handling 📝, or communication 📞.
• They gather views, review performance data 📊, and share findings.
• This helps ensure services meet required standards ✅.
• Full training is provided 🎓.
