Consumers have a 14-day cooling-off right for distance contracts under The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. To use it, notify Shelter with a clear statement within 14 days of the contract date or delivery. Cancellation ends both parties obligations; reimbursements must be made within 14 days of notification.
Applicable law: The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 - see official text.
If Shelter increases the price of a renewable subscription, the consumer can treat the change as a material variation and cancel. Provide the notification of price increase Shelter issued and your subscription details. Request a full refund for any pre-paid period where the service changed materially. Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 principles on unfair contract terms; remedies follow the statutory rules.
If you move address and the service can no longer be provided, send proof of new address (utility bill or tenancy agreement) and your request to cancel. Shelter's research does not publish a specific Shelter list of accepted relocation documents; use official proof such as a dated tenancy agreement or utility bill.
To cancel after a subscriber's death, provide a death certificate and the executor or next of kin should request cancellation by emailing [email protected] or by post to Shelter, 13 Welford Road, LE2 7AD Leicester, United Kingdom. Shelter's published guidance on cases of bereavement is Not published by Shelter beyond the requirement to provide proof.
If an item from the Online Shop is faulty, your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 apply. You can request a refund within 30 days for goods that are not of satisfactory quality, not fit for purpose or not as described. Return goods at your cost unless Shelter agrees otherwise. See the Shelter Online Shop terms: Shop terms.
Research lists accepted grounds for cancellation as Direct Debit cancellation, text STOP for text donations, and written cancellation. Specific Shelter lists of legitimate grounds for free cancellation are Not published by Shelter. Base any claim on the statutory grounds above.
Research does not show published retention offers from Shelter. If you prefer to try to keep a lower cost, call 0300 330 1234 and request a retention offer or a payment pause. When asking, provide your supporter ID, last payment date and say you consider cancelling for financial reasons. If Shelter offers a discounted plan, get the offer in writing. Research contains no public record of specific Shelter retention discounts.
Using the Shelter app pricing from live data: monthly price £7.99. Yearly price £99.99.

Primary protections include the Consumer Rights Act 2015 for goods and services and The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 which provides a 14-day cooling-off right for distance and off-premises contracts. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 confirms cancellation rights for subscription renewal periods as described in live research.
When you cancel under the 14-day cooling-off period you must notify Shelter with a clear statement. Shelter must reimburse all payments within 14 days except for certain delivery costs; reimbursements should use the original payment method and no fee may be charged for refund processing. See the Regulations: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and the 2024 cooling-off summary: Cooling-off rights (2024).
First complain to Shelter using their complaints procedure: Shelter complaints policy. If unresolved, get advice from Citizens Advice and escalate to the relevant ombudsman for your sector or use your card issuer for chargeback/Section 75 where applicable. Citizens Advice guidance: Cancelling a service - Citizens Advice.
Save confirmation emails, SMS replies, recorded-post receipts or call notes (agent name, date and time). Check your bank or card statements to ensure no further payments are taken. If a payment is taken after cancellation, request an immediate refund and use your bank's chargeback or Section 75 protection if necessary for qualifying card transactions.
If you had an app subscription, check whether cancellation preserves access for the remainder of the paid period or ends immediately. For data retention or account deletion requests, contact Shelter via [email protected]. Ask for confirmation of account closure and data deletion in writing.
If you want to re-subscribe later, use the Shelter app or contact Supporter Helpdesk. Keep records of any promotional or annual pricing you were offered originally because these offers may not be repeated.
