Complaints And The Ombudsman

If a complaint to Moray Council isn't put right through its own complaints process, tenants can take it to the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman (SPSO). It's free and independent, and it publishes its decisions.

The Scottish Housing Regulator publishes a yearly report on every Scottish social landlord, including Moray Council: tenant satisfaction, repair times, rents and how many homes it owns. The main figures are on this page. Find it in the regulator's landlord reports.

Swapping with a tenant of Moray Council?

Under the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001, a Scottish secure tenant needs the landlord's written consent to exchange. The landlord can only refuse on reasonable grounds and must reply within one month, or consent is treated as given. Swapping with someone in another part of the UK? Each landlord follows its own nation's rules. Get the application in early, keep your rent account clear, and ask for the decision in writing.
