All our decisions are published here as part of our commitment to being open and transparent. The decisions are anonymised so residents’ names are not used, but landlords are named. The decisions date from December 2020 and are published three months after the final decision date. In some cases we may decide not to publish a decision if it is not in the resident’s or landlord’s interest or the resident’s anonymity may be compromised.

When Ms N contacted the landlord in April 2024, she said that she wanted to raise the matter as an “official complaint”. While the landlord responded to her correspondence at this time, it did not raise the matter as a complaint until the end of May 2024. That was only after Ms N made further contact. The landlord delayed further in its handling of the complaint as it did not provide its stage 1 response until 5 August 2024. That was far outside its 10-working day target set out in its complaints policy. It was appropriate that the landlord acknowledged complaint handling failings its stage 1 response. Its response at stage 2 of its complaints process was timely. Overall, the £145 the landlord awarded to the resident was fair recognition of the impact of its complaint handling delays and failings.
