Housing Law Service

Provided by Shelter Scotland

The Shelter Scottish Housing Law Service helps people access justice by providing specialist and expert advice and representation on housing law.

Our aim is to ensure everyone facing homelessness or housing difficulties in Scotland understands their legal rights.

We strive to tackle poverty in housing and empower people to exercise their rights. We're dedicated to improving housing conditions, both on a strategic level and through litigation in individual cases.

We provide free legal advice and representation to help people with housing issues across Scotland. Our solicitors provide advice and attend court to help people keep their homes, access housing and improve their housing conditions.

Our law service is reached by referral, through our housing advisers on the helpline or one of our referral partners.
