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.
Fresh Thinking: New Ideas housing policy debate that has been launched by the Housing and Minister for Housing and Communities. This is a far reaching debate on the future of housing policy which will run over the Summer. For more information go to http://housingdiscussion.scotland.gov.uk/
