If you are facing financial hardship or homelessness, or struggling with your mental health, help is available.
The Council has a range of specialist services that can help if you are homeless or have housing issues.
You can access a wealth of housing advice on our website and our dedicated officers can help with a wide range of housing problems, including your legal rights.
You may find it helpful to come in and see a Housing Solutions Officer if you:
- Are living in privately rented accommodation and your landlord is asking you to leave
- Are living with family or friends and they have asked you to leave
- Have become, or think that you are likely to become homeless
- Are experiencing domestic abuse
- Are having difficulties paying your rent or mortgage
- Would like information on accessing privately rented accommodation
We also have a homelessness prevention service for landlords considering serving a notice, or for tenants who are at risk of losing their tenancy.
This service aims to help resolve any issues between tenants and landlords and sustain the tenancy where possible.
If required, the service can also help in finding alternative accommodation.
Please note that the above services will close at 3pm on Tuesday, 24 December, and reopen at 9am on Thursday, 2 January 2025.
However, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council can be contacted via their emergency out of hours number during this time on 024 7638 2153.
