Q2 Quarterly Data 23-24

In this quarter, from July to September 2023, we made 1,302 determinations.

Complaints received

The complaint categories graph shows that 'property condition' was once again the most complained about category, with 53% of all complaints. That compares to the second highest 'complaint handling', at 18%.

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).
