The Housing Law Practitioners Association

"The Housing Law Practitioners Association is a forum for all those who practice housing law for the benefit of the homeless, tenants and other occupiers of housing. The system does not work for our clients. Private tenancies do not provide the security needed for a stable life, especially for vulnerable tenants or those with children. Social housing and homeownership are for the few. S21 proceedings are rife with technical defences, but these are a delaying tactic in most cases. Due to advice deserts or lack of eligibility, many tenants cannot access legal aid to defend possession proceedings. HLPA supports the Renters' Reform Coalition to create a workable, stable system which treats houses as homes, not merely assets.”
