Housing and Tenancy Advice
We know it can be stressful when your housing situation
is difficult and we are here to help.
If you are homeless or think you may become homeless please contact us as soon as you can.
We may also be able to help if you are finding it hard to pay your rent, or need some help in your tenancy for any other reason you may benefit from tenancy support.
Whether you need help with a specific issue, or longer term help, our Support and Advice Team offer free, impartial and confidential help across the Mid Devon area. We can help you be clear about what your rights and options are and work with you to make an action plan to suit your situation.
How can we help?
I'm homeless
If you have no home, and you are sofa surfing or homeless come and see us. We can help practically (shower, clothes washing) and also look at how we can get you some help with your situation.
I'm being evicted
Eviction proceedings are complicated and stressful. Bring in your paperwork and we can look at what is happening and support you through the next steps.
​
I need a bigger house
It can be hard to find housing at the moment, but we can help you work out how much you can afford, and look for something more suitable.
My home is damp
If your home is in poor repair we can advise you on what you have a right to expect your landlord to do, and we can also help you with some energy advice as well.
I can't manage my rent this month
We can help you look at your finances and come up with a plan and help you explain the situation to your landlord.
​
I would like help with my Devon Home Choice (DHC) banding
If you think your DHC banding is wrong, we can look at the reasons for that and advise you on how to appeal that decision.
