We care about both the quality of our homes and the wellbeing of the 190,000 people living within them – of which around 40% are children and young people. 

As a social housing landlord, we work hard to support our tenants and provide them with a warm, dry, home that meets their needs. This also means connecting them with the support they need to live well, with dignity, in connected communities.

Ultimately, our job is to provide our tenants with a stable home for as long as they need it. In return, we expect them to be good neighbours and tenants.

What we expect of our tenants

Our job is to provide our customers with a stable home for as long as they need it. In return, we expect them to be good tenants and neighbours and we are clear about what that means.

Our approach to disruptive behaviour

We have changed our approach to managing tenancies and strengthened our response to disruptive behaviour.

We know that most of our tenants are responsible and treat their neighbours with respect. However, when disruptive behaviour occurs, you can expect us to use the tools available to us under the Residential Tenancies Act more often to drive behaviour change and provide a clear deterrent for disruptive behaviour.
