Tenant Participation

What is Tenant Participation?

Tenant Participation is about tenants having real opportunities to contribute to and influence all decisions relating to their homes and living conditions.

Tenant Participation in Aberdeen City Council

To achieve this Aberdeen City Council employs two Tenant Participation Officers who are responsible for developing, promoting and supporting Tenant Participation within the city.

Your Tenant Participation Team will:

  • Listen to the concerns and views of Tenants
  • Provide information and training for you to get more involved
  • Provide different methods for you to get involved in a way that suits
  • Support tenants who wish to explore the possibility of setting up a new Group.
  • Give practical guidance and support - help with producing minutes, preparing agendas, producing posters and leaflets etc.
  • Provide grant funding to recognised Tenants & Residents Groups
  • Increase and develop tenant participation by marketing opportunities
