TAROE Reports Surge in Tenant Complaints

A tenant body has reported an upsurge in complaints from residents who feel they have less of a voice as a result of changes to their social land­lords’ group structures.  The Tenants’ and Residents’ Organ­isations of England said it is currently receiving around 10 or 12 complaints a month from tenants, compared with around one or two a month a few months ago.
