Manual of Housing Law

This 4th edition of Andrew Arden's "Manual of Housing Law" takes full account of the changes in the law brought about by the "Housing and Planning Act 1986" and the "Housing Act 1988". Particular emphasis has been given to the effects on security of tenure, the creation of the new category of the assured tenant, the privatization of the public rented sector, and housing associations. The text examines all major aspects of housing law including: occupation status and owner occupation, security of tenure by rent and housing acts, restricted security, lack of security, harassment and illegal eviction, break-up of relationships, homelessness and disrepair, overcrowding, and multiple occupation and common lodging houses. The manual is designed and written for practitioners and advisers, to keep them abreast of legislative changes and case law developments. The succinct yet informative style bridges the gap between the needs of the specialist practitioner, the non-lawyer and the student. Cases are dated within the text and cross-referencing places each topic in its full practical context.
