Housing legal advice

Our housing service includes free legal advice around a range of housing matters including homelessness and wrongful eviction.

We provide advice on a range of housing issues.

We can help you if:

  • You are homeless or threatened with homelessness
  • You are being threatened with possession of your home
  • You are being threatened with eviction from your home
  • You are seeking repairs to rented accommodation where your landlord is refusing to carry out the repairs and the disrepair poses a serious risk of harm and safety
  • You have been or are being threatened with unlawful eviction
  • You are being harassed by a neighbour or your landlord and require an injunction to enable you to continue to live in your home safely
  • Your landlord has applied for an antisocial behaviour injunction against you in the County Court

If you have received written notice that you could lose your home, please contact our Housing Loss Prevention Advice Service.

We cannot help you if:

  • You are a landlord - we do not advise or act for landlords

Legal Aid

If you are on a low income, you may be eligible for legal aid which means that you may have to pay a limited amount of money or none at all. We are able to take on legal aid cases if you live in Islington and Westminster, but can take on a small number of cases from elsewhere.

If you believe that you are eligible for legal aid and would like to see if our team can help you, please fill in our online form and we will get back to you.
