A new system of rules and management requirements for shared housing came into effect on 01 April 2019. Find out what this will mean for tenants and landlords.
LATEST: Information about Universal Credit
Universal Credit has now been introduced across Northern Ireland. If you need to make a new claim for help with housing costs, it's likely that the help you'll get will be through Universal Credit.
LATEST: Reclaim your letting fees
A recent court judgment ordered an estate agent to repay fees to a tenant. The court held that the tenant had a right to reclaim these fees under the terms of the Commission on Disposals of Land Order (NI) 1986. We've drafted a letter to help you reclaim any fees that you have paid to agents.
