Paying your Rent
Welcome to the TenantZone. Here you will find practical information about services we offer to tenants, what tenants are doing at MBHA, how MBHA is responding to what you have to say and how you can get involved.
These pages are all being updated over the next six months. We will be bringing you new information about services and improvements that are being made.
Ainan GroatHello! I’m Ainan Groat, and I started working with Margaret Blackwood Housing Association as Tenant Participation Officer in April 2006. Based in Edinburgh I work 2½ days per week, job-sharing with Lynne and I work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning. Previously, I worked as a Housing Officer for Edinvar, Muirhouse Housing Association and then Hunters Hall Housing Co-op in Niddrie. Before that, my job in Wester Hailes was to set up and support tenants groups. | Image of Ainan Groat, Tenant Participation Officer |

We are based in Edinburgh but travel all over Scotland to support tenants groups. We make every effort to use only accessible venues and do everything we can to support tenants with particular needs, whether you need sign language interpreters, large print or audio information. Many of our tenants panels are also done by post or phone so even if you cannot leave your house you can still participate!
If there is anything that you want to say or do or if you would like to get more involved, then please contact us by phone on 0131 317 0106 or email at tpo@mbha.org.uk
