Course overview
All local authority and social landlords need to ensure that their tenants live and benefit from a safe, well-maintained area where they feel happy to live.
What is a tenants neighbourhood and how far do the landlords’ responsibilities go?
Ensuring sound communal areas and grounds can have a positive impact on how people feel about living there. Whether it’s fly tipping, graffiti or overgrown gardens, rundown estates can lead to other problems such as difficult to let properties which affect rent levels.
