I have reviewed your request and our responses. The summary of my
conclusion is that while a tenant does have the right to access and
discuss property survey findings related to the home they live in, the way
to do so is not via the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) for reasons I
explain below. Therefore, while we cannot comply with this particular
request via FOI, our housing team will be able to discuss with the tenant,
or their authorised third party, any maintenance and repair needs or
concerns. You can contact our housing repairs team directly at
[1][
email address] or you can use our [2]Contact us webpage.
Please note that if you wish to act on behalf of a tenant of Stroud
District Council, you must contact us with the tenant present so we can
establish consent to discuss the specific matter. For the avoidance of
doubt, your other FOI requests are being managed on an individual basis
and will be replied to separately.
I conclude that matters relating to a specific tenanted property,
including a condition survey, reaches the threshold of personal
information. I conclude this as a property survey includes significant and
detailed information about a property, some of which may risk prejudicing
the security of a home, or may highlight issues of disrepair or neglect
that may cause distress to an individual if made public. Furthermore, the
survey its self can contain photographs or other information that can
identify the tenants of the property, their lifestyles, and other personal
information. Ultimately, while we acknowledge there is clear individual
interest in this property survey, there is no evidence of wider public
interest to publish this information which reaches a higher threshold than
protecting the rights and freedoms of the Council’s tenant by not
publishing it. Therefore I am satisfied that this request is exempted
under Section 40 of the FOI: personal information.
However, as I note in the first paragraph of my reply I see no reason that
the tenant of this property cannot contact the Council via our normal
service channels and discuss and resolve the matter in a more appropriate
way than publishing personal information to the world at large. As this
website is public, I cannot comment on the specifics of any individual
tenancy, and encourage you to contact the housing team to resolve this
matter promptly.
I also note that you have provided the name and address of a Council
tenant as part of this request, please delete this information from the
request if they have not consented to this information being made public,
as it is currently available on this website. I see a Council officer did
ask you for the address, and I have provided updated guidance to our staff
to avoid requesting such information via this website as they may not have
known it would be published immediately.
