Specific’s tools power this experience, making survey creation effortless and expert-level for everyone.

Why tenant building safety surveys matter

Skipping tenant feedback on building safety is risky and short-sighted. These surveys don’t just tick compliance boxes—they uncover safety gaps, build trust, and show you care. The UK government’s Tenant Satisfaction Measures for 2023/24 found that around 77% of tenants are satisfied their landlord provides a safe home [2]. That's a solid number, but it still means nearly a quarter of tenants feel there’s room for improvement. If you’re not asking tenants directly, you’re missing the chance to:

• Spot emerging safety concerns before incidents occur

• Build stronger tenant–landlord relationships grounded in transparency

• Boost overall satisfaction, leading to better retention rates

• Demonstrate proactive compliance with new housing standards

Miss these opportunities, and you could face preventable costs—or worse, safety issues that put people at risk. On the flip side, actively seeking input helps landlords and building managers reinforce a reputation for safety and care.

And concerns are real—an SFG20 survey in 2024 showed 57% of respondents worry about the safety of high-rise residential buildings [3]. Surveys help you listen, address what matters, and fix issues before they escalate.

The advantage of using an AI survey generator

Let’s be honest: Traditional survey-making drains time and energy. AI changes the game completely. With Specific’s AI survey generator, you turn a prompt into a robust, contextualized survey—no more wrestling with messy forms or second-guessing the question sequence. Here’s how it compares:

Why use AI for tenants surveys?

• It eliminates guesswork. AI knows what works and builds on proven templates.

• You benefit from conversational, contextual interviews—no stiff forms.

• Specific’s user experience is best-in-class, so both survey creators and tenants enjoy a smooth, engaging process.

If you’ve dreaded making tenant surveys or missed out on good feedback, try AI-driven survey generation and see the difference for yourself.

Designing questions that drive real insight

It’s easy to fall into the “lazy” survey trap—vague, leading, or broad questions that don’t tell you much. Here’s a quick look at the difference:

• Bad: “Are you happy with your building?” (Doesn’t clarify what ‘happy’ means for safety, comfort, or maintenance.)

• Good: “Do you feel your building’s fire exits are well-marked and accessible?” (Clear and pointed—it digs into a real safety topic.)

Specific’s AI-powered survey editor helps remove vague or biased questions, offering actionable prompts instead. Our system checks each question against expert-crafted guidelines, so you get meaningful insights every time.

Pro tip: To improve your own survey questions, always be specific (“fire exits” instead of “safety”), avoid yes/no when you actually want detail, and invite context (“Please describe”). For deeper guidance, our resource on building safety survey questions for tenants goes further.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

This is a game-changer: Specific uses AI to ask smart follow-up questions in real time, just like a sharp researcher in an interview. Instead of missing crucial context, the AI digs deeper based on what the tenant says—so you get richer insights, not just surface answers. These automated follow-ups save hours you’d otherwise spend chasing clarifications over email or phone.

• Tenant: “Sometimes I feel unsafe on the stairs.”

• AI follow-up: “Can you tell me more about what makes you feel unsafe on the stairs? Is it lighting, cleanliness, or something else?”

• Tenant: “The alarms are old.”

• AI follow-up: “Are you concerned about the alarms’ reliability or how often they’re tested?”

Without these smart follow-ups, answers like “It’s fine most of the time” can leave you guessing at the real issue—or lead to expensive oversights.

These tailored follow-ups make your survey a true conversational survey. Try generating a survey here to watch it unfold—you’ll see why real-time probing transforms feedback.

How to deliver your building safety survey

Collecting insights is only half the battle; delivery matters too. With Specific, you can pick the best way to reach tenants about building safety, using either method or both:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Perfect for distributing to many tenants via email, SMS, posters, or tenant portals. Just send the link—they can respond on any device, anytime. This method is ideal for general building safety feedback and annual pulse checks.

• In-product surveys: For property managers using a digital tenant portal or app, embed the survey directly as a chat widget. Trigger the survey after a maintenance log, rent payment, or safety incident. This is great for getting targeted feedback after specific events or for ongoing compliance.

You can learn more about the advantages and examples for each in our product guides linked above.
