Independent body the Scottish Housing Regulator has released its annual landlord reports monitor the performance of social housing providers.
Hebridean Housing Partnership’s 2,000 tenants in the Western Isles now have access to how well the body is doing at www.scottishhousingregulator.gov.uk.
The report shows how HHP has performed against the Scottish Social Housing Charter in the areas that tenants told the regulator matter most: homes and rents, quality and maintenance of homes, neighbourhoods, tenant satisfaction and value for money.
The landlord reports are designed to help tenants hold their landlords to account.
The regulator published a landlord report for each of the nation’s social landlords, comprising around 160 registered social landlords and 32 local authorities.
An interactive comparison tool on the website allows people to review performance against a national average and against landlords in other parts of Scotland.
George Walker, chair of the Scottish Housing Regulator, said: “Overall, Scotland’s social landlords are continuing to perform well. They’ve maintained a strong performance across the majority of the charter standards and outcomes.
“Tenants have told us that our landlord reports and comparison tool are a useful and simple way to find out about their landlord’s performance.
“We want to make it even easier for tenants to access the information they need to have meaningful discussions with their landlord about their homes and services. We will outline proposals to enhance the information we make available when we consult on our new regulatory framework in October.”
