Tenant input is at the heart of TPAS Cymru. White Line

We know as a tenant that you have great things to contribute. You can make a real difference to your community. It’s likely that your landlord has channels to enable your voice to be heard. In addition, we have additional ways to have your say on the bigger issues around policy, direction, and issues facing housing in Wales.

Tenants input is at the heart of TPAS Cymru...it's whats we are about. White Line

We know you have great things to contribute and below we set out different ways in which you can get your voice heard so you can make a real difference. It’s likely that your landlord; whether a Housing Association or Local Council; has resident or community groups that you want your voice, but in this article we explore the other ways where you can have your say on the bigger issues around policy, direction and issues facing housing in Wales.

Tenant Networks And Other TPAS Cymru Events.

We hold regular tenant only events across Wales. These are popular and give you a chance to share issues, find solutions and influence policy.

TPAS Cymru has a packed schedule of events where tenants can really make a difference and get their voice heard. Check out our upcoming tenant training & events. We regularly hold interactive sessions for tenants with WG Regulation team and representatives from Regulatory Board for Wales. TPAS Cymru also takes pride in visiting tenant groups, attending tenant days and events run by Landlords and engaging with tenants via social media and advice/support forums.

TPAS Cymru's Tenant Pulse Team.

We’ve created a small panel of committed tenants who we regularly consult with, to get input and opinions on issues that impact Welsh housing. We call them ‘the Pulse Team’ as they are at the heart of a vibrant housing sector in Wales. They are our extra eyes, ears and voice in our communities.

Most of our conversations take place on via survey tools. They’re typically tenants who want to have their say, but don’t want to get bogged down in lengthy meetings, committees, procedures, and mountains of paper. We like this approach, it’s nimble, cost effective and you can engage on your own terms when it suits you. Members can win prizes and rewards for their contributions. Why not learn more about Tenant Pulse? OR Join Tenant Pulse directly here?

We want you to join Pulse Team The next phase is to provide support and training so that those who want to, can amplify their voice by getting involved in blogging, video citizen journalism, and other digital channels. We also see long term benefit of collaboration with Regulatory Board for Wales. Interested? Join here. Like other groups, all we will ask is that your input is constructive and that what you have to say is relevant to the tenant involvement agenda.

THE AGENDA: TPAS Cymru have created a briefing series that we call 'The Agenda' which provides tenats with an overview of a subject and suggestions for questions to use to engage with your landlord.

Welsh Government, Regulatory Board for Wales & Tenant Voice

White Line
Here in Wales, there is a strong Housing Regulation team working for Welsh Govenment. To assist their work there is a independent Regulatory Board for Wales. Like TPAS Cymru, the Regulatory Board is committed to putting tenants at the heart of regulation and citizen-centred principles of governance. TPAS Cymru has a good relationship with the Board and meet with representatives regularly. Note: The Regulatory Board currently do not cover local authority tenants or tenants in private rental sector

TPAS Cymru are always seeking tenants’ views to bring significant issues affecting tenants to the attention of the Regulatory Board and the Regulation Team. We have a number of events both face to face and online where tenants from housing associations across Wales.

Who regulates housing associations in Wales?

The Welsh Government’s Housing Regulation Team regulates housing associations registered in Wales, which are also known as ‘Registered Social Landlords’ (RSLs). The aim of regulation is to:

1) protect the interests of current/future tenants and other service users
2) ensure good quality social housing, in terms of it meeting the Welsh Housing Quality Standard, services which meet tenants’ needs, value for money and financial viability
3) maintain the confidence of funders who lend to housing associations (e.g. banks and building societies)

As explained above, TPAS Cymru has a positive 'critical friend' relationship with the Regulation Team. If you wish to discuss any issues with us please get in touch.
