The Tenants Information Service (TIS) is a national organisation, which provides independent information, advice and training for tenants. Since 1989, we have been a major contributor to developing good tenant participation practice in Scotland.

TIS can offer a range of services to assist tenants and landlords to review and put their tenant participation strategies into practice. A key part of our work is supporting tenants and landlords to review housing services and standards to improve service delivery.
