Nearly Legal: Housing Law News and Comment

Helpful Housing Hints

Two, quite distinct, bodies have put out some free guides.

The DCLG have released some booklets aimed at private landlords and tenants, giving guidance on requirements and best practice:

Top Tips for Tenants: Assured Shorthold Tenancies
Top Tips for Landlords: Assured Shorthold Tenancies
And
Fact Sheet: Gaining possession of a properly let on an AST

Meanwhile, HLPA (the Housing Law Practitioners Association, in case you didn’t know) have put out some free FAQs on a number of the common but potentially tricky questions that housing advisors can face, including: eligibility for the EEA unemployed; section 21 notice periods; termination of temporary accommodation provided under the full housing duty; suspension from bidding schemes; and more. Well worth a look.

Also, for HLPA members only, there are some precedent letters and pleadings available, for homelessness matters and Children Act support, unlawful eviction and settling possession/eviction cases. These require a HLPA member’s login to access.
