Your satisfaction

What are Tenant Satisfaction Measures? (TSMs)

We are required to collect and report each year on our performance. Our performance is looked at by using 'Tenant Satisfaction Measures' - these are determined by the regulator of social housing.

We ask Acuity to contact you on our behalf, so that you feel you can talk freely and honestly about our services.

How do we use them?

We use this information to improve and shape the services that we offer. It highlights area of improvement and lets us know what you think.
