Key factors in tenant satisfaction
Tenant satisfaction with services from their housing provider is closely coupled to the condition of their home, with satisfaction falling significantly as structural problems increase. This relationship holds after accounting for a wide range of geographic, demographic and housing-related factors. There are also significant relationships between tenant satisfaction and the number of working facilities in the home, time spent living in social housing, household composition, housing program, and geographic variables such as state or territory.
Living in CH is associated with higher tenant satisfaction. However, once we account for factors such as dwelling condition, time in social housing and household composition, CH tenants are only a little more likely to be satisfied than similar PH tenants.
