As I've been a tenant here so long I have loads of rights apparently, which I'd just sign away. Not that I want to live here for that much longer anyway!
Can anyone recommend a lawyer that deals with housing contract issues - I need to sort it by Monday!
Can any of you lovely people help / recommend someone who can look at the contract for her?
Thanks.

Hi
Fisrtly tell her not to waste her money on a lawyer, there is a charity called shelter that will offer her all the advice she will need an it usually comes for free.
i work in the housing sector, and these guys are good. some links below to their website. including one that offers a telephone number to a helpline

at the end of the day you may need a lawyer, but these guys will give you the right advice
Good Luck
