Rent / Mortgage Arrears

Unfortunately Henry Hyams is not able to take on any new Housing Law cases. If you are a tenant in residential accommodation in the Leeds area and require legally aided housing advice, please try Gallagher & Co on 0113 467 5000.

You could be in arrears with your rent or mortgage because you have unexpectedly lost your job or had your income reduced in some way. You may have other financial obligations and find it difficult to manage them.

In these cases the owner of the property is likely to issue a claim for possession in the local county court. We can help you with this. If possible, we would like to meet with you in the office before any court hearing date. We would negotiate an agreement wherever possible and will attend the court hearing with you to make sure that your circumstances are made known to the judge. We will explain the order made to help you avoid any further action being taken.
