The Housing team cover a wide range of work for our 5 Boroughs. That includes providing advice for housing policy and procedures;  issuing claims for possession of council tenancies for alleged breaches of tenancy conditions from non-payment of rent, anti-social behaviour to fraudulent use of social housing; issuing proceedings where a council property has unauthorised occupants, trespassers, or a failed succession claims; issuing injunctions including the prevention of anti-social behaviour and access to premises; dealing with issues relating to applications for housing and homelessness; and, dealing with Judicial Review claims arising out of a housing case.

The team work in conjunction with housing officers and other partner agencies to collate evidence and build a case to bring before the courts. They have strong relationships with our client officers and stake holders and relish any challenge that is sent to the Team to address.
