HOUSING

WHO WE ARE

The Law Centre was set up in 1970 to find the scourge of rogue landlords in North Kensington at that time. Ever since then, we have fought for tenant’s basic housing rights to ensure they have access to justice.

WHAT WE DO

We offer legal advice if your matter is in scope for Legal Aid for the following issues:

Homelessness Reviews
Repossession and Eviction by Landlord
Serious Disrepair – resulting in the removal of serious risks to occupier health and safety (claims for damages are out of scope)
Harassment/Anti-Social Behaviour

We prioritise helping local residents, and we do not represent landlords.

Please note that rehousing/tenancy transfers are not in scope for Legal Aid.

If we are able to take on your case, we will invite you to attend an appointment where we can give you substantive legal advice. If you fit within Legal Aid requirements, we can help you free of charge. All our advice is impartial, independent and confidential.
