Housing advice - Existing private tenancy
A local authority may be able to provide help and advice to existing private tenants who may be a victim of harassment, illegal eviction or experiencing trouble or issues with their landlord.
General Housing Information and Advice
We provide advice and assistance on a wide range of housing related problems.
Many people living in accommodation in the private sector are unsure of their rights and are unsure where they can go for help. Also, many landlords renting out accommodation are not aware that we can offer impartial advice regarding problems they may experience with their tenants.
We provide advice on:
General tenancy matters - this includes notices given to tenants because a tenancy is coming to an end, tenancy agreements that have expired or are expiring, and issues where tenants may have breached the terms of their tenancy agreement (for example, by non payment of rent).
Relationship breakdown - many people are not aware of their rights when they separate from a partner. Advice can be given regarding their housing situation and any benefits they may be entitled to.
Homelessness - advice can be given at any time if people think they may be homeless in the future, or where they are already homeless.
Housing options - there are a range of options which are available to people who are looking for alternative housing.
If you require housing advice please Paul Charlwood or Billy Wilson, Housing Officers.
