We publish decisions as part of our commitment to being open and transparent.
Decision reports do not include residents’ names, but we name landlords. They date from December 2020, and we publish them 3 months after the final decision date.
In some cases, we will not publish a decision if it is not in the resident’s or landlord’s interest. Or if we will compromise the resident’s anonymity. You can read more in our guidance on decisions.

We have also considered the landlord’s record keeping and complaint handling. We note that there were instances where the complaint investigation ought to have been reasonably aware of certain failures in its handling of the substantive repairs. This has been dealt with earlier in this report, and where applicable, remedies have been applied. Therefore, this section has focused on the procedural elements of the complaint handling. The resident made a complaint on 20 April 2024. The landlord acknowledged the complaint on 24 April 2024. It responded on 9 May 2024, which was 10 working days later. This was appropriate and in line with its policy and the timeframes set out in the Code. The resident escalated his complaint on 10 May 2024. The landlord acknowledged this on 13 May 2024. It issued its stage 2 response on 11 June 2024, which was 20 working days later. This was also in line with its policy and the timeframes set out in the Code. Overall, the landlord answered all elements of the resident’s complaint and tried to provide a remedy where it had found failures. It also responded in a timely manner. Therefore, we found no maladministration in the landlord’s complaint handling.
