Annual Visits For Our Tenants
We want you to feel safe and happy at home and carrying out an annual tenancy visit plays an important part in this. It also helps Forth to make sure your home remains safe and is in good condition.
This is an opportunity for you to discuss any tenancy or property issues you may have with us, and is also a chance for Forth to check the information we have on our records. During the visit you are also welcome to chat to us about any issues you have to find out how we can support you. Staff can also show you how to access our self-service home portal My Forth.
Our staff will start carrying out annual tenancy visits soon. If you have an appointment for a member of staff to visit you in your home, we will carry out the annual tenancy visit during this appointment. Otherwise, we will text you in advance to let you know that we will be in your area ahead of time.
This annual visit is an important part of your tenancy agreement and will last around 30 minutes.
If you have any questions or concerns ahead of your annual tenancy visit being carried out, please contact us at info@forthha.org.uk or call on 01786 446 066.
