How To Set Up & Run an Effective Tenants and Residents Association
This "how to" guide has been compiled by the Federation of Inverclyde Tenants and Residents Associations.
The guide was created as a reference for tenants and residents who are trying to set up an association in their area.
These webpages are also available as a handbook (ready to print PDF) in the publications section.
