eQ9XmnoL6SprIbafrOWbutlH6-T2zbbu9lEcpqfvfnSYu1m61IUEjhqdg0rQ-mXbAuwikNY6O0ssBM1qP-xg5f8rMIx6SPYfnoYHWhfdMDHwXeZB8lZrcTQjU9p5EYk6yI9iM0VmCJ7XCcyqiz3EhwiqujxZsA=s0-d-e1-ft


Are you: A Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic British citizen (with or without a passport); or someone with Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR); or someone with another form of immigration status eg Limited Leave to Remain (LLR), Pre-Settled Status, work / student visa?

Have you: Tried to rent property in the private sector in England since 1 February 2016; and made enquiries to a landlord/agent about a property that were unsuccessful (e.g. your enquiries were ignored, you were told the property wasn’t available, or a landlord/agent refused to hold a property pending a right to rent check)?

If this sounds like you JCWI [Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants] would love to hear from you! To find out more, please contact Rowan Smith at Leigh Day solicitors ASAP, before August 31st 2021.

Getting involved will not take up much of your time or cost you anything, and you will not have to go to court. But it would help in an important case which, if successful, would make a big difference to the lives of thousands of people in the UK.
