Taking a modern, fresh approach to housing law and specifically written for housing practitioners including housing office managers, residential social landlords and the housing association, this title provides a step by step guide to the law, policy and practice of this subject area.

The text gives a broad coverage of policy issues such as developing housing strategies in rural areas, special needs and the homeless and also deals with procuring and provision at both framework and on an individual basis. There is specific coverage of special needs, asylum seekers, young, elderly and the homeless. General areas of funding and governance are covered along with issues of maintenance and repair, anti-social behaviour, discrimination and human rights.

A thoroughly practical focus enables busy professionals to access commentary, precedents and case reports.Will also be online as a housing module of Local Government Direct with housing case reports from All England Reports and relevant legislation from Legislation Direct updated on a monthly basis.
