We’re a free, independent support service for tenants — not ambulance-chasing solicitors.

Whether you’re dealing with overcrowding, repairs not being done, rent issues, anti-social behaviour, or an unfair landlord, Tenants First is here to stand by you.

You don’t have to face it alone. We offer:

• Friendly, practical support
• No-pressure advice
• Help navigating housing problems
• Connections to trusted services if legal help is ever needed

We’re not here to chase cases — we’re here to support people.

✊ What We Do

• Support with housing issues: Repairs, rent disputes, overcrowding, ASB and more
• Tenant advocacy: We help you be heard and taken seriously
• Community events: From drop-in advice sessions to tenant coffee mornings and awareness workshops
• Guided referrals: When legal support is needed, we connect you to firms that align with our values — no commission, no pressure

💡 Need Help with More Than Just Housing?

We also issue small hardship and wellbeing grants (where funding allows) to support tenants with:

• Emergency travel to attend medical or legal appointments
• Basic furniture or white goods in extreme need
• Child essentials for families facing overcrowding
• Access to counselling or wellbeing services
• Training and digital access for tenant empowerment

Overcrowded. Ignored. At breaking point?
We help tenants take back control — with real solutions, not empty promises.

You deserve a safe, secure, and liveable home.
If your landlord won’t listen — we will.

Real support for real tenants. That’s Tenants First.
