What are Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs)?

Back to the top

In 2025, registered providers of social housing in England must meet Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) requirements, which include collecting and reporting on performance using 22 defined measures from:

  • A Tenant Perception Survey (12 measures)
  • Our management systems (10 measures)

These measures are designed to provide transparency to tenants about their landlord's performance and are divided into five categories:

  • Building Safety
  • Antisocial Behaviour
  • Decent Homes Standard & Repairs
  • Complaints
  • Tenant Perception Measures

How was the Tenant Perception Survey carried out?

Back to the top

In September 2024, Bolton at Home had 18,101 occupied households. To meet the sample size set by the Regulator of Social Housing in the Tenant Satisfaction Measures guidelines, we needed to complete a minimum of 1,014 surveys.

Between 30 September and 13 November 2024, a total of 1,085 surveys were completed. There were 1,056 telephone surveys and 29 postal surveys.

Telephone surveys allow the interviewer and tenant to clarify any questions or responses. For customers where there is no telephone number available, they could potentially be selected to take part through a postal survey.

Postal surveys were sent in a small number of cases, where the tenants circumstances meant that a telephone survey wouldn’t be appropriate.

The survey, data collection, and reporting was conducted by TLF Research.
