Housing & Shelter Rights

Housing & Shelter Rights is dedicated to protecting one of the most fundamental human needs—secure and dignified shelter. Many individuals and families, especially those from marginalized communities, migrants, daily-wage earners, and vulnerable groups, often encounter unlawful evictions, harassment by landlords, inflated rents, lack of proper rental agreements, or denial of access to government housing schemes. Our mission is to ensure that every person receives fair treatment, legal protection, and equal opportunity to live in a safe environment.

We provide legal counselling, documentation support, representation in eviction matters, and assistance in resolving tenancy disputes. Our team also helps communities navigate complex property issues, rehabilitation rights during demolition drives, and access to emergency shelters. We work to ensure transparency in rental agreements, prevent exploitation, and uphold the legal safeguards established under housing and tenancy laws.

Beyond individual cases, we conduct awareness programs on housing rights, advocate for inclusive housing policies, and collaborate with authorities to improve living conditions in informal settlements. By promoting accountability and legal protection, we strive to create a society where all citizens—regardless of income or background—have access to stable, safe, and legally protected shelter.
