Our performance: council housing
We aim to provide high quality services that are both cost effective and meet your needs.
To help us see how well we are performing, we:
- measure how well each of our services are doing
- compare our performance over time and against similar organisations
- look for ways that we can improve the services we provide

How we are regulated
We are regulated by the Regulator for Social Housing (RSL), who publish Nation Standards for social housing landlords, alongside the newly introduced Tenant Satisfaction Measures.
Tenant Satisfaction Measures
Tenant Satisfaction Measures are a recent regulatory requirement.
Registered social housing landlords have a duty to collect performance information in line with Tenant Satisfaction Measures as required by the Regulator of Social Housing.
All registered social housing landlords, including Melton Borough Council must:
- Collect performance data in line with the Tenant Satisfaction Measures from April 1, 2023.
- Annually submit performance results against the Tenant Satisfaction Measures to the Regulator of Social Housing, commencing June 2024.
- Annually publish performance against specified Tenant Satisfaction Measures, from September 2024.
The Tenant Satisfaction Measures are intended to help empower social housing tenants to scrutinise their landlord's performance and in holding their landlords to account.
You can find out more about Tenant Satisfaction Measures on the government website.
National standards
There are regulatory standards for all landlords of social housing, to ensure that all landlords provide high quality responsive services to their tenants.
