London & Quadrant Housing Trust (202414100)
The landlord did not conduct a sufficiently thorough investigation at stage 1 and failed to acknowledge or appropriately respond to the resident’s escalation request. The complaint process was protracted, lacked clear oversight, and required the resident to repeatedly chase. It also failed to provide a clear plan to bring matters to a timely and lasting resolution. Although the landlord identified generalised learning, it did not set out what steps it intended to take to prevent similar failings in the future.
