ABSTRACT
Landlords are potentially entitled to legal aid, but are far less likely to be granted it, because generally, their financial resources will make them ineligible. However, property that is the subject matter of the dispute will usually be disregarded. In any case, in computing capital, the value of the applicant’s main or only dwelling is disregarded. A resident landlord therefore might still qualify for legal aid notwithstanding his ownership of the property in question.
