Accommodation covers housing and living arrangements, including private tenancies, homelessness, and disputes over occupying property. A solicitor in this area drafts and reviews tenancy agreements, handles eviction or possession actions, and resolves disputes about repairs, deposits, and service charges. They advise on rights to occupy and restore or secure accommodation, and navigate related processes such as applications for housing assistance and pursuing remedies in the courts or tribunals. The work is shaped by landlord-tenant law, housing standards, and local authority involvement when housing conditions are at issue.
