The ongoing pandemic has forced a physical distance between landlord and tenant, and while many sign up, pay their rent, go to work and live happy, peaceful lives in thriving neighbourhoods, often tenants of community-based housing providers have high levels of engagement: they call into the office to pay rent, raise repairs at the front desk, discuss ASB with a duty officer, or seek help from the finance team, food bank, or support officer. Some tenants we never see, others come in for tea and toast. That\u2019s the beauty of the job. But now, tenants have to call up rather than call in. Offices are closed and nobody knows quite when they will re-open, or what the service will look like when (or if\u2026) they do.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re in a strange position as housing officers. It\u2019s a professional relationship with tenants, but we know so much about their personal lives. We are often the first port of call when there has been domestic abuse, job-loss, food crisis. We see the success of new tenants, their work in the community, their children thrive at school. The housing officers I work with across the sector don\u2019t want to lose that relationship with their tenants. We love knowing about their family, their needs, their aspirations. It\u2019s the driving force for how we work and the service we provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What would we say to those tenants we normally see so often if we could pop round, or if we saw them out and about? I hope this letter from housing officers to tenants sums it up, wherever you live and work, and that it gives everyone some hope that for those tenants all over the country that need us, we are all still here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Letter in Lockdown: From My Home to Yours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dear Tenant,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How are you? I hope you\u2019re well. I really mean that. I hope that you and your family are healthy and happy. I hope you haven\u2019t suffered any loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We haven\u2019t seen each other in a while now. How are you coping? Have you spoken much to your family? Did the neighbours help with your shopping?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s been lonely at times, hasn\u2019t it? Frightening too, not knowing how long this will last, or what the world will look like when it\u2019s over. My days would normally be full of back-to-back appointments; some in the office, sometimes I\u2019d visit your home. We\u2019d talk about your neighbours: their loud music, their 2am visitors, their unruly kids. You\u2019d tell me about the new medication your doctor gave you, and I\u2019d say how much better you looked since I last saw you, steadier on your feet too. You\u2019d say you don\u2019t think you\u2019ll need that handrail anymore. You\u2019d tell me that they fixed the leak in your shower, and they\u2019d been to cut your grass too. We\u2019d agree it looked much better, nicer to sit out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our services have changed a little. We\u2019ve had to do everything from a distance. I spend my days on the phone, emailing, chatting online, on video calls. I can\u2019t believe how quickly you\u2019ve adapted! We\u2019re further apart, and yet busier than ever! For many, it\u2019s been great to contact us from the comfort of your home: to not have to find childcare, struggle with transport or to get out in ill health. I\u2019m speaking to new tenants every day who are at home in the digital world and find us so much more accessible. Don\u2019t worry though, we\u2019re not leaving anyone behind. We know that some of you need to see us in person and we\u2019ll be right back out there as soon as it\u2019s safe for both of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our office might look dark, the door locked, the shutters down, but our screens are bright! We are all in our own homes. The kids are running riot in the background and the dog is barking at the postman. We are logging in early, finishing late, talking constantly to our colleagues and partner agencies to help you with rent arrears, urgent repairs, emergency accommodation. We\u2019re excited to make things better for you, and for us. We\u2019re listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Call, anytime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Housing Officer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Author bio<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leigh qualified as a solicitor in 2014, specialising in housing litigation for Registered Providers in England and Wales. It took three hours in the team and one unforgettable witness statement for Leigh to fall in love with all things housing.
