Responding to queries

We hope that you’ll find it easy to live in one of our homes, and you won’t have any issues. But we’re realistic enough to know that sometimes there will be things that fixing, repairing or resolving.

We promise to respond to all queries from residents within one working day. If we can’t solve the issue at the first point, we’ll explain what we’re doing and how long it should take. We’ll also tell you when we’ll be back in touch.

You can contact us:

• by phone on 020 7112 8901 (lines open 9am-5pm Monday to Friday)
• by email hello@populoliving.co.uk
• using the Rent Café portal or app.

Complaints, Comments and Compliments

We want you to be happy with the services you receive, and we want to know when we get things right or wrong. We want to improve on what we do by building on our successes and learning from our mistakes.

We hope you will never need to complain about us, or our service. But if there is an issue we can’t resolve to your satisfaction, here is information on how to complain, and what you can expect from us. 

We have two initial stages to our formal complaints process, set out in our Populo Living Group Complaints Policy.

Or you can get in touch via our Customer Feedback Form.

We will provide a flexible, effective and efficient tenancy/license management service that reflects best practice, complies with legislation and recognises the rights of our tenants/ licensees. This policy gives general guidance on the tenancies that will typically be offered by Populo.
