The Guarantee tells you what you can expect from us – including the service you should be getting. It also tells you what to do if you feel we aren’t meeting the Guarantee.
The Guarantee sets out:
- What your landlord must do to meet the Regulatory Code
- Any other ‘good practice’ standards that your landlord should normally comply with
What the Guarantee covers:

• 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
