Keeping your home

Eviction

If you are living in residential property the law protects you against harassment and illegal eviction. It does this by making harassment and illegal eviction criminal offences and by enabling a victim to claim damages through the civil court. For more information see eviction.

Rent arrears

If you allow your rent arrears to build up, you could lose your home. Find out how to avoid this by managing your debts and finding a solution with your landlord. Also, if your landlord takes you to court, find out about getting advice and what happens on the day see rent arrears.

Homelessness prevention

There are laws to help you, when you are threatened with an unfairl eviction by your landlord, or you or your children are not safe where you live. Find out how you can get help and support if you are homeless or face the prospect of losing your home. Find out more see homelessness-prevention.

Mortgage Relief

The Government has announced a new £200 million package of resources designed to prevent some of the most vulnerable families from losing their homes facing the trauma of repossession. Find out more see mortgage relief.
