The Clinic in a Nutshell

- You send us your problem using our special form
- We post it as a normal blog post, do our answer 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 readers 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.
