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.

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 ✅.

We are currently consulting on our Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP)

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 🎓.

Register of Interested Tenants 📨

• Sign up to be contacted about topics you care about ❤️ (e.g. repairs, communication, estate management).
