LEGAL SERVICES AGENCY
Legal Services Agency (LSA) is a Law Centre and Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) committed to defending legal rights and using the law to effect social change.
We do this primarily through providing legal advice, assistance and representation to those who need it most. We believe that everyone is entitled to specialist legal advice when they need it and to have the right expert on their side when things go wrong.
Our Housing Team can assist with a wide range of housing law issues, from early advice on homeless applications, to defending evictions and repossessions, and tenancy and disrepair issues. We assist tenants in private or social accommodation, home-owners and people without accommodation in the Glasgow and Inverclyde areas. Housing law issues can be complicated, and it can be hard to know where to start in resolving issues with your housing. Our solicitors can walk you through your options, and provide you with advice and representation throughout the process of resolving your housing issues.
Our solicitors regularly provide advice and representation in the Sheriff Court, the Housing and Property Chamber of the First Tier Tribunal and can provide specialist assistance with appeals to higher courts and tribunals. While we can provide early advice to help resolve issues at an early stage, we also recognise that sometimes people need assistance, and we can provide this urgent service. Our solicitors are here to guide you through your case, whether that is defending an eviction action, obtaining homeless accommodation, or enforcing your right to suitable accommodation.
When you come to speak with us about a Homeless matter we will need you to have the following information with you:
- Photo ID
- Documents showing your current income and your partner’s income (if applicable). These could be a wage slip, DWP letter or bank statement.
- Proof of any savings, investments etc that you have. A recent bank statement for all accounts for you and your partner will usually be enough unless you have any other sources of capital
- Any decision letter you have had from the local authority regarding your homeless application
You can call our freephone number on 0800 316 8450
