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.

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).
• Take part from home via email, phone, or online surveys.

Local & Angus‑wide Tenant Groups 🌍

• For tenants who want to be more actively involved.
• Training, support, and travel expenses are provided so everyone can take part.
