Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSM)

Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSM's)

The Government introduced Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSM's) in 2023 which are designed to assess and monitor how well social landlords are doing in providing good quality homes and services.

Every year the Council will:

  • Submit our performance against the TSMs to the Regulator of Social Housing.
  • Publish our performance against the TSMs on our website and in publications.

In total there are 22 TSMs:

  • 10 Landlord Measures – based on information we hold in our systems.
  • 12 Tenant Perception Measures – based on the views from a sample survey of our tenants.

The TSMs relate to five areas:

  • Keeping homes in good repair: We want to know if your home is in good condition and if it is getting the repairs it needs.
  • Maintaining building safety: We want to know if your home is safe and if it meets all the safety standards.
  • Effective handling of complaints: We want to know if we are handling your complaints quickly and fairly.
  • Being respectful and helpful: We want to know if we are respectful and helpful when you need us.
  • Responsible neighbourhood management: We want to know if we are managing your neighbourhood well and if we are keeping it safe and clean.
