Fancy Joining The tenantsvoice? There are currently places available for tenants to become a member of the tenantsvoice. The tenantsvoice is open to all tenants and is the tenant chosen name for the tenant scrutiny panel. They will be helping to improve the <strong>Council</strong>’s performance as a landlord by: • Giving an independent view of the <strong>Council</strong>’s procedures and performance as a landlord • Highlighting what is good and what needs to change; and • Making evidence based recommendations to change things for the better Wanted – More Empty Homes Inspectors Empty Homes Inspectors spot check the condition of empty homes by ‘reality checking’ their condition when tenants leave a property, and they also make sure that the properties meet the property letting service standards before the next tenants sign their tenancy agreements. FREE training will be offered in all aspects of the work you will undertake. You just need to be willing and able to learn. Interested?
