A tenants' charter
July 26, 2007
Dear Editor,
Your article, MP calls for end of
"get-rich-quick" schemes, (July 12) is right on the
money.
I am sure that all parties will agree that we
need a charter for council tenants which will
enshrine their rights and entitlement whatever may
happen.
Any prospective housing association should be
ready to subscribe to proper tenant elections to
their board, open board meeting minutes and
agendas, open annual general meetings, properly
supported tenants associations, access to procedure
documents, an independently run complaints
procedure and an annual tenants satisfaction
survey, universal and independently run.
Certain Housing Associations offer none of
these, and if they are to become be a part of the
lives of council tenants, they will have to
change.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Rutherford.
Independent Federation
of Genesis Residents.
