Can We Help?

Are you renting a house or flat that is damp or needs repairs? Have there been problems with the heating or other facilities? We can help you make your landlord put things right.

Are you having problems paying the rent? Is your landlord harassing or threatening to evict you? We can help you to stop your landlord from evicting you without going to court, and perhaps win time to pay off any arrears so you do not have to move.

Are you homeless? Our Housing Law expert is here to help solve your problems. Our expertise is recognised by the Legal Services Commission; which now runs the Legal Aid system. We are the only firm in Shropshire with a contract from the LSC in this category of law.

Your Rights

All tenants know that they have to pay the rent – but many do not realise that landlords have to repair their homes. If a landlord knows that repairs are needed, but does not carry them out, they can be forced to do the repairs – by Court Order if necessary.

There are other difficulties, which tenants sometimes face, such as threats of eviction. Don’t be bullied - a landlord can only evict a tenant with a Court Order. If your landlord tries to evict you without a Court Order, or does anything to spoil enjoyment of your home, then your Solicitor can seek a Court Order to prevent him from interfering with your rights in the home.
