Eviction Help and Housing Possession Advice in Southwark, Lambeth and Lewisham
Are you, or someone you are supporting, facing eviction? If your landlord has started court proceedings to evict you from your home, we can provide free advice and guidance. Our eviction support service is specifically designed for people who have received court papers for housing possession proceedings.
You can contact us directly if:
-
You are an individual at risk of eviction in Southwark, Lambeth, or Lewisham, or
-
You are helping someone else who is being taken to court by their landlord, such as a family member, friend, carer, or support worke
If you are completing a form or contacting us on behalf of another person, please ensure you use the tenant’s details (the person facing eviction) so we can give the correct advice and assistance.
Many people on low incomes or receiving benefits may qualify for Legal Aid for housing possession cases, which can help cover the cost of legal advice and representation.
