Midlothian Tenants Forum Activities

The Forum is one of the Registered Tenants Organisations that the Council consults with to fulfil the tenant participation requirements introduced by the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 to consult with and provide information to tenants.

The forum is involved in the planning of the Annual Midlothian Tenants Conference and the Midlothian Tenant Newsletter.  These activities are central to the Council’s commitment to provide information to tenants regarding the management and maintenance of Council houses.

In the past we have influenced the development of many housing services including:

• Tenant participation strategy
• Tenant information pack
• Review of housing repairs and improvement policies
• Void re-let standards
• Allocations policy
• Local housing strategy
• Common housing register
• Application form for housing
• Introduction of the tenant newsletter
• Introduction of the tenant conference
