Tenants and Residents Federation
The Federation was formed in 1993, to bring tenants and
residents in Perth and Kinross together.
Its aim is to promote tenants' rights and the maintenance and
improvement of their housing conditions, amenities and environment
within Perth and Kinross.
The Federation, which has its own staff and office
premises, is funded through a direct grant from the
Council.
The office at 20 North Methven Street in Perth is open Monday to
Friday, 10.00 am to noon.
The Federation helps by:
- Sharing information with tenants and member associations,
helping them to make decisions about issues connected with their
housing environment, safety, security and well-being.
- Gathering information from tenants and associations, so that
their opinions and decisions can be passed on to the right
people.
- Acting as a consultation connection, to link with Housing and
the Council, other agencies and organisations.
- Providing a base and, from it, offering support and advice to
member associations and individual tenants.
- Helping with training about housing issues and the way the
Council works, to make sure that members know how decisions are
made and , in turn, how services could be improved.
- Helping with training so that members can run effective
associations.
- Awarding grants to help cover the running costs of member
associations.
