Which stands for Grand Incentive for Tenants – is a reward scheme for our good tenants and each month we give away a total of £1,000 in prize money to four lucky tenants.

Feedback from our tenant focus groups shows that good tenants, who pay their rent on time, care for their property and respect their neighbours do not feel that the Association appreciates their efforts fully. We hope that the launch of the GIFT reward scheme will show just how much we appreciate all our very good tenants and that it will encourage more tenants to keep to the conditions of their tenancy agreement.

All tenants are automatically entered into the draw and four tenancy numbers are randomly selected each month. From the order in which they were drawn, the first four tenancy numbers to pass the internal checks are declared the winners.

Winning tenants will be notified in writing.

Terms and conditions

• A group of tenancy numbers will be randomly selected at the beginning of each month.
• From the order in which they were drawn, the first four tenants to pass internal checks will be the winners that month. (Any rent arrears, incidents of anti-social behaviour, abandoning cars, missed maintenance appointments or not allowing gas safety checks will disqualify that number from winning.)
• There will be four winners each month and £250 will be paid to each winner.
• Winning tenants will be notified in writing following the monthly draw.
• Once a claim is made a Housing Officer will visit the tenant’s property to complete a final check. As the money is a reward for good tenancy, we make a general inspection of the property and any garden, to ensure that there is no malicious damage to the property, and that the property is generally kept to a standard of cleanliness and tidiness. If everything is satisfactory the winner will receive a cheque for £250.
• All winners agree to be photographed for MDHA's quarterly magazine, Streets Ahead when they are presented with their cheque.
• Timings for visits and photographs will be by prior arrangement.
