Tenant management organisations (TMOs)

Overview

A tenant management organisation (TMO) is an independent group that provides housing management on behalf of the council. TMOs are in a legal contract with us to run services including:

  • cleaning and caretaking
  • collecting rents and arrears
  • repairs and maintenance
  • dealing with anti-social behaviour and neighbour disputes
  • making sure tenants are informed and listened to
  • renting houses to new tenants
  • managing major works

We support TMOs to:

  • make sure all our tenants and homeowners are treated fairly
  • achieve the council's priorities for offering housing
  • help TMOs deliver a housing management service equal to or better than the council's
  • promote diversity
