The service offer advice and assistance to non-council tenants or leaseholders and homeowners. The earlier you contact us, the more likely it is that we can resolve your issue or prevent your homelessness. Please do not wait until you are actually homeless before contacting us. If you are a council tenant with a housing problem which needs attention from the council in its capacity as a landlord then you should contact Tower Hamlets Homes on A team of housing advice officers and a money advice officer offer guidance and support to residents with housing-related problems and/or debts. Our main role is to prevent homelessness. We can assist you if you are tenant of a private landlord or leaseholder and are: Are threatened with homelessness Have a Court hearing concerning your home Have problems with your tenancy/leasehold We can give you advice about possible alternative housing options that may be available to you. In certain circumstances we can refer you to schemes which help with rent deposits or rent in advance.
4 Remember It is a criminal offence for a Landlord or an agent to evict a residential occupier without a County Court Order, enforced by a Court Bailiff. Failure to follow the legal procedure is a criminal offence which the Local Authority has the power to prosecute offenders. Offenders may face substantial fines or even imprisonment if found guilty.
