Your Rights & Obligations

Hostel residents rights in hostel accommodation are much less secure than those of a tenant or owner occupier. You are entitled to reasonable written notice, if asked to leave. The notice period will vary depending on the reason given for an eviction.

For further advice, contact the Advice & Homelessness Service on 01493 846398 or 01493 846476 or contact them at Greyfriars House, where Drop-in Sessions take place between 9:00 am and 12:00 midday, Monday to Friday
