Registered Tenant Organisations
A Registered Tenant Organisation (RTO) is an organisation
who has earned the statutory right to be consulted on significant
issues.
Registration criteria
Tenant organisations which include tenants of Perth &
Kinross Council can apply to become Registered with the
Council. To qualify for registration, an organisation
must recognise its responsibilities and agree to run its
organisation in the following ways:
- to be open and accountable;
- to be democratic and inclusive;
- to work for the best interest of those represented;
- to agree consultation processes for particular issues;
- to agree on solutions and then work towards making them
happen;
- to agree decisions with the Council and members and record
them so that everyone knows what is to happen and why those
decision were made;
- to make sure that all tenants represented know and understand
what decisions have been made and the reasons for those
decisions.
A Registered Tenant Organisation will be informed of any
proposals and the likely effect of such proposals on those living
in their area.
