Additional legal protections apply

English isn't my first language

Refugees and ESOL speakers

Legal protections that apply to you

  • Equality Act 2010, race is a protected characteristic
  • ICO accessibility guidance, landlord must communicate clearly
  • We provide interpreters at no cost

Specific things to know

  • Verbal complaints alone are harder to evidence, we help build written record
  • Tenancy paperwork in English you didn't fully understand is NOT a barrier to claim

Real, published cases

We do not publish our own client figures. Instead, you can read real, published statutory rulings against named landlords, with the compensation each was ordered to pay and a link to each source.
