A tenant democracy means that tenants can take part of the housing location’s administration. Via tenant democracy policies tenants have possibilities to get information about the housing location’s accounting, condition and maintenance. It gives tenants an opportunity to influence matters related to their own housing conditions, to increase comfort and satisfaction and to promote the upkeep and maintenance of rental buildings.
A tenant meeting is organized in each housing location at least once a year. Housing location’s Tenant Committee convenes the tenant meeting. If the housing location does not have Tenant Committee, TYS convenes the tenant meeting. Tenant Committee represents housing location’s tenant matters to TYS. Tenant Committee decides independently of the use of its yearly allowance accordingly the instructions given. Tenant Committee organizes joint events according tenants’ interest.
