Understanding the possession action process
Guidance updated for landlords and tenants
The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities have updated their guidance for landlords and tenants about the possession action process in the county courts in England, to reflect the launch of the Housing Loss Prevention Advice Service (HLPAS).
The Housing Loss Prevention Advice Service offers government-funded legal advice and representation (legal aid) to individuals facing possession proceedings which could result in the loss of their homes.
