When resolving Complaints, We Will:
-
Investigate all serious tenant complaints about other tenants or Housing Staff.
-
Make every reasonable effort to help resolve issues.
-
Consider evicting tenants who, despite all efforts to resolve the problem, still unreasonably disturb, harass, or otherwise discriminate against other tenants.
-
Deal immediately with tenants who behave violently towards other tenants or Housing Staff or otherwise threaten their safety or security.
-
If staff members cannot resolve the issue the Board of Directors will get involved.
-
If the complaint is with a staff member the Board of Directors will deal with the issue.

The Board of Directors are informed of every complaint and monitor each situation.
​
When resolving Complaints, We Will Not:

Get involved in minor disputes or complaints based on rumours.
-
Get involved in issues where Housing, as the Landlord, has no authority to deal with the complaint.
-
Act on complaints if they are discriminatory in
themselves as outlined under legislation.
Housing will NOT tolerate acts of violence or
discriminatory claims. If the complaint itself is a form
of harassment, it will not be acted on.
-
Consider evicting tenants if there is limited
documented evidence or no witnesses.
