Everyone deserves the right to live in a warm, safe and secure home, free from disrepair.
The Scottish Government has introduced new duties on landlords to tackle damp and mould. This is often referred to as “Awaab’s law” – named in memory of two-year-old Awaab Ishak who died from a serious lung condition caused by mould in his home in England. Under these duties, landlords must investigate reports of damp or mould and begin any necessary repairs within set timescales.
In response to recent social media commentary on housing allocations, we are always happy to listen to and discuss any concerns our tenants might have about any aspect of our work, and we will respond openly through the normal channels.
As a community controlled organisation, the views and needs of local people are at the heart of what we do and we welcome feedback from all in our community. We have no information about the group that has organised recent demonstrations and have not received a request for a meeting with them. Due to the uncertainty around the nature of the protest today, and in the interest of public safety, we took the decision to close our office.
Demand for our homes far exceeds the number of properties available. Through our lettings, we aim to meet a range of housing needs while operating within the requirements of Scottish Government legislation, including that relative to homelessness.
We will continue to consult with our tenants on how we let our homes on the basis of our Housing Allocations Policy.
Our team are still on hand to answer any queries or concerns.
However, our team only have limited access to information while our system changeover takes place. As a result, unless your query is urgent, you may be asked to call back at another time.
If you are applying for a home, our waiting list is currently closed but will re-open soon.
Our office is closed Friday, 18th July and
Monday, 21st July for Glasgow Fair weekend.
We will re-open at 9 am on Tuesday, 22nd July.
For any urgent repairs, please call 0808 202 6565.
