Total Craigroyston recently carried out a short survey for people living in privately rented homes in Muirhouse and West Pilton – and the results are now in!
A total of 58 people responded to the October survey and the findings will now be presented at tomorrow’s Private Rented Sector Forum.
Total Craigroyston hopes the survey will encourage private landlords to be involved with the area’s regeneration and also help people living in privately rented accommodation to feel more secure in their homes.
Some of the main points are:
- 81% of people who responded were families with children
- 52% of people who responded said they did not feel settled in their home
- People wanted information on key services (47%), activities in the community (44%) and what to do with rubbish/recycling (41%)
- 54% had found their home through ‘informal’ routes – Gumtree, word-of-mouth, etc.
