		Ever wondered if you are getting a fair deal from us or how we compare to other landlords in the area?  Well, help is at hand as the national social housing regulator, the Tenant Services Authority (TSA), has released a new free web portal. This portal enables you to compare the performance of housing associations in the area - all you have to do is enter your postcode.

				Tenant satisfaction with opportunities for participating in making decisions about the services provided
				Tenant satisfaction with repairs and maintenance
