  • challenging decisions of local authorities where they have classed homeless applicants as intentionally homeless or not in priority need of accommodation;
  • helping tenants apply and secure the suspension of an eviction warrants;
  • defending tenants in social housing as well as private tenants in possession proceedings based on allegations of their anti-social behaviour;
  • disputes over sub-letting in social and private housing;
