Tenancy guaranteeTenants Guarantee

The Guarantee for Housing Association Residents has been developed by the Welsh Assembly Government in consultation with the Welsh Federation of Housing Associations and the Welsh Tenants Federation.

In keeping with its role as regulator of housing associations, the Assembly has produced this Guarantee. Its purpose is to advise you about:

  • What your landlord must do to comply with the Regulatory Code
  • Any additional standards that are considered to be good practice which your landlord should normally comply with.

The Guarantee is important.
You can use the Guarantee to find out what you can expect and to check that you are getting the service that you should be getting from your housing association.
It also tells you what to do if you think your housing association is not honouring the Guarantee.

What the guarantee covers:

The Way Things Are Run: This tells you about who is in charge in the association and the proper way things should be run.

Getting Re-housed: This tells you about your rights and what to expect if you are a tenant, and you are applying to move home.

Moving In: This tells you about occupancy agreements and what support your landlord should offer you.

Living in your Home: This tells you about being secure in your home, how to manage it, and what to do if you experience noise, nuisance or anti-social behaviour.

Paying for your Home: This includes information about rent and service charges.

Repairs and Improvements: This tells you about reporting repairs, major works, carrying out your own improvements and claiming compensation.

Information: This tells you about the quality of service you should expect, what information you should expect to be given and the type of information that is held about you.

Consultation and Involvement: This tells you how you can have your say and get more involved in the running of the housing association.

Making a Complaint: This tells you what to do and how to complain if you think the housing association is not doing things properly
