Get help with a housing discrimination problem
If you’re not sure if your problem is discrimination or you need help with taking action, there are organisations that can help.
Contact your nearest Citizens Advice
It’s a good idea to contact your nearest Citizens Advice first - they can help with your discrimination problem and any other problems you have.
For example if your landlord increased your rent when you became disabled, an adviser can help you complain about discrimination. They can also advise you about money problems caused by spending more on rent.
Contact the EASS helpline
You can also contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS) with discrimination problems - they can help you find a way forward but can’t give legal advice.
