Tenant Satisfaction Measures method Survey

Summary of Approach

Methodology

A census approach was undertaken and as such, all of Wealden District Council’s rented households were invited to take part in the survey. No households were removed, however, as the survey was sent out at a single point in time any properties vacant at that time did not receive a survey.

The total number of responses was 891.

·       Respondents age and ethnicity.

 

·       Building type (General needs or Retirement Living), stock type (flat/house/bungalow) and property size.
