Social Housing: Tenants

About

Provided by Bindmans LLP

Focused on specialist and complex housing matters. Whether its group litigation on behalf of tenants; Rent Act tenancies, hoarding and incapacity or protestors defending the right to remain.
If it’s difficult, odd and involves land we deal with it.

Our expertise ranges from bringing cases in the county courts through to the Supreme Court, and in the right case to the European Court in Strasbourg. We don't give up.

Whether it is a dispute between one tenant and their negligent landlord on a well-established point of law, or a group action which will lead to widespread changes in the law, we provide a creative and effective service.

Housing disputes can be hugely distressing for those involved and we work hard to get the best result as quickly as possible and to minimise the stress our clients face.
