Housing & Homelessness

We offer free specialist housing law advice to the residents of Derbyshire.

 

Our Specialist Housing Team: Lisa, Steve, Laura and Luke.

Representation at court

We also provide the Duty Solicitor scheme on housing days in the County Court. This service is for people who have not already instructed a solicitor, and anyone, regardless of income, will be advised and represented.

We advise, assist and represent council, social & private tenants on:

  • Rent / mortgage arrears
  • Homelessness or becoming homeless

  • Eviction / repossession
  • Deposits and bonds
  • Harassment from landlords and illegal evictions
  • Discrimination by a landlord or housing provider
  • Serious disrepair
  • Transfers and allocations
  • Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) in relation to housing matters.

What we Don't Do

We do not give advice:

  • to landlords
  • on conveyancing (legal procedure for buying and selling houses) or
  • on boundary disputes.
