housing advice

We give free legal advice to both tenants and owner occupiers about their housing rights. We provide help for individuals facing possession actions, evictions, harassment, disrepair, rent arrears and housing benefit problems related to their housing situation. We also offer advice on homelessness and housing allocation.

We are able to offer free representation and advocacy at Court. If we are unable to assist we can make referrals as necessary or instruct counsel on client's behalf.
