We offer free and confidential housing advice to any resident of the Borough with a housing problem.
We will inform people of their housing rights and options and try to prevent homelessness wherever possible. We provide information, advice and assistance on a wide range of housing and welfare benefit-related issues through in-depth casework, mediation and advocacy.
The Housing Advice Service offers advice and information on:
- homelessness or threatened homelessness;
- rent and mortgage arrears;
- tenants' rights and responsibilities;
- welfare benefits;
- harassment and illegal eviction;
- local housing options;
- possession proceedings;
- relationship breakdown;
- housing needs register;
- mediation service;
- housing debt counselling;
- accommodation finding, deposit and tenancy sustainment scheme
If you are homeless or threatened with homelessness, please contact Housing Services immediately on 01372 732000.
We have a legal duty try to prevent homelessness wherever possible and we will arrange a housing options assessment interview. By advising you of your housing rights and exploring your alternative housing options, it may be possible to solve your problem and prevent you from becoming homeless. Do not leave it until the last minute and this will severely limit the help we can offer.
