Position

Farzana Chowdhury is a Partner in the Housing department at Hodge Jones & Allen. She has worked at Hodge Jones & Allen since 2001, specialising in housing law during that time.

Farzana has experience dealing with a broad range of social housing law cases including disrepair, possession proceedings, unlawful eviction, harassment, discrimination and homelessness. Her particular interests lie in complex anti-social behaviour, succession, tenancy fraud and sub-letting cases. She also frequently acts for tenants who are vulnerable or have mental health issues and have required a much higher level of care and attention as a result.

Farzana passionately believes in access to justice for all and works closely with several external organisations, providing advice and assistance to ensure their clients are able to access appropriate legal advice wherever possible.

Farzana has dealt with a number of group litigation cases for tenants of social landlords affected by disrepair to their homes. She has managed to achieve agreements for block works as well as significant settlements for damages for her clients in these cases.
