What the grades mean
The Regulator of Social Housing grades landlords on consumer standards (safety, repairs, complaints, tenant voice) from C1 (best) to C4 (serious failings). Grading started in April 2024, so many landlords have not been graded yet. 99% of the social homes in Three Rivers belong to a landlord that reported Tenant Satisfaction Measures for 2024/25.
Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSM) are reported by each landlord for its whole stock (or its group), not for one area; survey methods differ and the regulator warns against direct comparison. Figures are for 2024/25, the latest published when this site was built.
Housing association homes are counted on 31 March 2026 (Statistical Data Return), council homes on 31 March 2025 (Live Table 116); the totals mix the two dates. Other areas in East of England.
