Focus groups and interviews with PRS tenants in Wales and tenants’ groups organisers in the UK revealed that:
Need to make the most of what is already there • Social tenant participation sector has 30+ years of experience • PRS tenant needs can differ - careful planning • Autonomous local groups with national umbrella body, tenant-led, independent from Government • Statutory rights to be informed and consulted
