Q2 and Q3 Quarterly Data 23-24

This page looks at the data from 2 quarters, from July to December 2023. In this period we made 2,514 determinations.

Complaints received

The complaint categories graph shows that 'property condition' was once again the most complained about category, with 55% of all complaints. That compares to the second highest 'complaint handling', at 16%.

The following 2 graphs show how many complaints we receive from different types of landlords and different sizes regarding the top 3 complaint categories (property condition, complaint handling and anti-social behaviour).
