Mumsnet and housing charity Shelter are teaming up to provide a specialist housing advice forum for one week.
From Monday, housing adviser Andy will answer questions and advise you on your rights if you’re renting from a private landlord, a council or housing association tenant, or if you are homeless or facing homelessness.
The clinic will take place on this thread in the form of a 'Q&A' session from Monday 16 September to Friday 20 September. It will cover issues like: landlord disputes, tenancy deposits, overcrowding, eviction, getting repairs done, homelessness applications, mortgage arrears and eviction. We will do our best to provide all answers during the week but, at the latest, by the Monday of the following week.
Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through advice, support and legal services. And they campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to them for help.
