Social Tenant Access to Information Requirements (STAIRS)
We want to make it easier for you to find clear information about your home, your landlord and the services you receive.
What is STAIRs?
The government has introduced a new regulatory standard called the Social Tenant Access to Information Requirements, also known as STAIRs.
STAIRs is designed to make it easier for you to access key information about your home, your landlord and the services you receive.
It helps you understand how we work, how decisions are made and how you can hold us to account.
Publication scheme
The government requires all social housing providers to introduce a publication scheme by October 2026.
Our publication scheme brings important information about our housing services together in one place. It should help you find key information without needing to ask us first.
We’ll regularly review the information published here to ensure it remains accurate and up to date. We’ll add new information to this scheme when we’re required to, and whenever we think it will be useful and relevant to you.
We’ve organised this information into clear sections to help you find what you need.
