Contacted a sample of 40 landlords, including
all those featured in the league tables.
Geographically diverse, different sizes.

changes they had made/actions taken as a
result. Invited to send supporting evidence.

Very mixed. Lower response rate than we
would have liked (39% of landlords did not
respond to the initial email or follow-up).
Of those who did respond, not all were aware
the Spotlight report existed.
However, some good practice was identified
and clear evidence of impact.

Damp and mould follow-up report with 10 ‘key
tests’.
3 key areas highlighted, including dignity, respect
and fairness. An extension of “it’s not just
lifestyle” and was prompted in part by the
tragedy of Awaab Ishak’s death.
Currently sharing our findings with the sector
through webinars, developing eLearning and so
forth.

Commonly referred to as “record-keeping”
but is more than that. It is also about how
your information is collected, stored, shared
and used.
Our casework and previous Spotlight reports
have shown us where there is poor KIM, this
directly affects the service provided and any
related complaints handling.
Themes found
“Refused access”
Missed appointments
Vulnerabilities
Financial detriment
Resident feedback
Was the subject of the October 2022 panel. Your
feedback has been used to inform the
recommendations for the sector
Direct (anonymous) quotes used to show how
this impacts residents and the relationship
between them and their landlord
Also been used to write the good practice section
and help to illustrate that good KIM does not
have to be complicated or expensive.
