Shetland Tenants Forum

The Tenants Forum is an organisation run by tenants for tenants.

We are here to assist tenants of the Shetland Islands Council, Hjaltland Housing Association and private landlords.

Things we can do:

  • Help any tenant who has a problem
  • Assist new tenants groups when they start up
  • Provide a grant to new tenants groups
  • Help with training
  • Assist tenants who have a complaint
  • Answer tenants questions

If we do not have the answer we will find out for you!
