Background of the Study
Gated residential communities have gained popularity in urban Nigeria due to their promise of security, privacy, and controlled access. These communities are often seen as offering a better quality of life, attracting higher-income earners who value peace of mind and exclusivity. In Kaduna State, where urbanization is on the rise, gated communities have become an increasingly common housing solution. They typically provide amenities such as 24/7 security, well-maintained roads, and recreational areas, contributing to a higher standard of living for residents (Garba & Yusuf, 2024).
Tenant satisfaction in these communities, however, is often a reflection of the quality of services and facilities provided, the effectiveness of security measures, and the management of common areas. Despite the growing popularity of gated residential communities in Kaduna State, there is limited research on tenant satisfaction within these developments. This study aims to evaluate the factors influencing tenant satisfaction in gated communities, focusing on the role of management practices, security, amenities, and maintenance services in shaping residents' overall experience.
Statement of the Problem
While gated residential communities in Kaduna State offer a range of benefits, there are concerns regarding tenant satisfaction. Issues such as poor maintenance, high service charges, and the effectiveness of security systems often lead to dissatisfaction among tenants. Despite the growth in the number of gated communities, little has been done to assess the extent to which tenants are satisfied with their living conditions. This study seeks to evaluate the factors affecting tenant satisfaction in gated residential communities in Kaduna State, providing insights into areas that require improvement and offering recommendations for enhancing tenant satisfaction.
