Its good to talk

The Clinic in a Nutshell

  • You send us your problem using the Blog Clinic form
  • We post it as a normal blog post and ask readers to comment
  • You agree that you won't hold people responsible (or legally liable) if they give a wrong answer
  • You understand that you may not get any answers - it is up to readers whether they comment or not
  • We won't publish everything - whether or not we publish someone's question is entirely up to us
  • However if you use the Fast Track service you will get your question answered within 14 days or your money back

We may be able to help with problems with:

  • Tenancy agreements
  • Tenancy deposits
  • HMOs
  • Disrepair issues
  • Eviction
  • Harassment
(This is not an exhaustive list!)

However we won’t publish questions on:

    Long leases

  • Commercial tenancies
  • Agricultural tenancies
  • Owner occupier problems
  • Rented properties outside England & Wales UK
  • Neighbour disputes (unless perhaps they are landlord and tenant related)
  • Social housing problems (eg where the local authority or a housing association is your landlord)

So please do not ask question on these topics.
