The Community Legal Service (CLS) is a network of organisations providing free legal advice and representation for people in the UK who are facing difficulties in the area of housing. This is a government-funded service operating within England and Wales, which is designed to ensure that everyone has access to legal advice and representation when it comes to issues such as landlord and tenant disputes, homelessness, repairs, rights of access, and other housing-related matters. The service aims to promote access to justice by providing advice, assistance and representation in housing law matters. The scope of the service includes providing advice, assistance and representation in a range of housing issues, as well as providing advice on other related matters such as welfare benefits and debt. The service also provides information and advice on how to access other forms of help such as social services and housing-related grants. The CLS is committed to making sure that everyone has access to the legal advice and representation they need when it comes to housing-related issues.
