Housing help?

Luk

Hello. I am new here.

I came across this place while looking for help and advice on housing, and I’m not sure if this is the right place. My council, London Southwark, is rejecting my autism and does not want to offer any help, advice, or support regarding housing. I am about to lose my home of 19 years, and I have no idea where to go, as everyone seems to be ignoring my situation. I am a 40-year-old male, living on my own. My landlord now wants to increase the rent from £1,500 to £3,000 (yes, a 100% increase) or serve me with a Section 21 notice. The property I live in is due to be demolished by the council, and my landlord wants to sell it back to the council because he is making no money from me. The council, however, has refused to offer any housing support or assistance, and I feel completely lost... So, I am here. No idea if this is the right place.

My first deep introduction to myself and my life to all the strangers on here :D

  • Citizens Advice yes. But there is Social Housing Action Campaign who are setting up a tenants trade union to give us a voice. I am involved in this as have had housing issues too. Please note they may not be able to help with your situation but do have lots of information on their web site.
