All Wales Tenant Pulse: 2nd Annual Survey on attitudes to the Energy Crisis & Net Zero

Our latest Tenant pulse is focused on the energy crisis and attitudes to Net Zero. This is the second time we have run this type of survey. 

We had the 2nd largest response rate to date for Tenant Pulse with over 700 tenants across social housing and private renting tenants. We were delighted to have a wide demographic of tenants, including a notable uplift in younger private renters responding.

We believe the findings and recommendations offer valuable insight into the challenges tenants are experiencing, and how tenants feel about their homes and communities in Net Zero context.

Note: As the energy crisis is changing rapidly, we will not wait a whole year to repeat this full survey. We plan to do a smaller pulse over the winter just focused on energy crisis. 

Tenant Pulse is the official Wales-wide panel for tenants giving their views on the things that matter right to them. It was created 4 years ago by TPAS Cymru (under a programme of work supported by Welsh Government). It’s run quarterly on topical issues to help shape housing policy in Wales. It covers tenants of both social housing (Housing Associations and Council housing) plus private renters and those in supported housing.

If you are a tenant, why not join our Tenant Pulse panel and have your say?
