Peel Living Tenant Advisory Group

About the advisory group

Your voice is critical to the work of Peel Living. The upcoming Tenant Engagement Plan builds on the Landlord and Tenant Promise and outlines the responsibilities of the landlord, tenants and, most importantly, what success looks like when we work together. The Advisory Group will collaborate with Peel Living staff to ensure that the promises of Communication, Accountability, Respect and Equity are embedded in the work we do.

Peel Living is committed to enabling all tenants to provide input that will affect decision making for the Peel Living community they live in, which ultimately support the goals of Peel Region’s Community for Life. That’s why we need you.
