Homeless from temporary accommodation
Issues in your temporary accommodation
If you are in temporary accommodation provided by Newham Council because you were homeless and you are now having issues in this accommodation like harassment, noise, financial problems or unresolved repairs, please use our online Homelessness Enquiry Form to let us know.
For repair issues see the information below.
Being evicted from your temporary accommodation
If you are in temporary accommodation provided by Newham Council, because you were homeless, and you are threatened with homelessness from this accommodation, do not make a new Homelessness Prevention Application, doing so may delay Newham Council assisting you.
If you are being told to leave your temporary accommodation by your landlord or managing agent please use our online Homelessness Enquiry Form to let us know. We are not always notified by the landlord or managing agent that they wish to take back a property.
Please include the following in the Enquiry Form:
- The address of your temporary accommodation
- Details of why you are being told to leave
- The eviction date, and
- Copies of any documents relevant to the threat of homelessness (such as a notice to leave or a letter from a Court)
