The National Federation of Tenant Management Organisations (NFTMO) represents management co-ops, estate management boards and other forms of tenant management organisations in England. We aim to support existing tenant management organisations and encourage the development of new ones. We do this through helping TMOs link up with each other to share information and experiences. This website contains information, news, resources, links and training. There is material for absolute beginners and for established tenant management organisations.
