Tenant information and transparency (STAIRs)

Your right to know

What is STAIRs?

Major Housing Association (MHA) is committed to providing tenants with clear and accessible information about how we manage our homes, deliver services and make decisions. This page provides information in accordance with the Social Tenant Access to Information Requirements (STAIRs).

The Social Tenant Access to Information Requirements (STAIRs) is a government scheme that gives social housing residents the right to see information about how their home and services are managed, in a similar way to the Freedom of Information rights that council tenants already have.

What’s changing and when

  1. From 1 October 2026

    We publish key information about our organisation and services here on our website.

  2. From 1 April 2027

    You’ll be able to ask us for specific information that isn’t already here, and we’ll reply within 30 calendar days.

1.Governance and decision making

Our vision and strategy

Our goal is to provide as many people as possible with access to affordable, high-quality permanent housing. Our four strategic objectives are:

  • Service Delivery — deliver a high-quality, digitally enabled customer experience.
  • Governance & Compliance — maintain strong governance and regulatory compliance.
  • Financial Strength — build a resilient, efficient and financially sustainable organisation.

How we are governed

MHA is a regulated, for-profit housing association overseen by an independent Board responsible for strategy, performance, risk management and compliance. Our senior leadership includes:

  • Rachel Harrison — Chair

STAIRs publication scheme reviews

If you believe information falling within our STAIRs publication scheme has not been published, you can request a review by contacting info@majorhousingassociation.uk. We will normally complete the review within 30 calendar days. If you remain dissatisfied, you may refer the matter to the Housing Ombudsman.

Information we may not be able to share

We want to be as open as we can, but some things we can’t publish or share — for example information that would identify individuals (personal data), commercially sensitive information, anything confidential or legally privileged, anything that could affect someone’s safety, and information already available elsewhere. We may also be unable to help with requests that would take a disproportionate amount of time, or that are repeated or unreasonable. Where we can’t share something, we’ll explain why.

Need this in another format?

If you would find this information easier to use in large print, another language or another format, just ask — we’ll provide it free of charge.
