Housing disputes — which
moment are you in?

Two very different situations bring tenants to this page, and they need different documents, different deadlines, and different free help. Pick the one that's yours.

⚖ Document preparation only — not legal advice

Moved out, and your landlord won't return your deposit?

Unfair deductions, a landlord who's gone quiet, or a deposit that was never protected in a scheme. You're the one bringing the claim — and if the deposit wasn't protected, the court can award one to three times it in compensation.

Received an eviction notice or possession claim?

A notice from your landlord, or court papers with a defence form and a 14-day deadline. You're the one defending — and free legal help, including representation at the hearing, exists for exactly this.

Start here — defending possession →
Something else — disrepair, harassment, or an unlawful eviction that's already happened? These need tailored documents rather than a standard pack. Shelter and Citizens Advice are the right first stops for advice — and if you then need the paperwork prepared, tell us about your case and we'll quote it as bespoke work.
