Housing Law Handbook, now in its fourth edition, has established itself as an essential resource for housing lawyers and advisers.
It combines comprehensive coverage of the substantive law with a practical approach, focusing on procedure and the common problems faced by practitioners, from court proceedings and the tactics of running a case, to challenging decisions and seeking remedies.
This edition includes the new assessment, prevention and relief duties under the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 and the 2018 Homelessness Code of Guidance; new local authority powers to regulate private landlords and letting agents – banning orders, financial penalties and rent repayment orders; up-to-date case law on possession proceedings, homelessness and allocations; the application of the Equality Act 2010, human rights and the rights of children in housing cases; the Care Act 2014; the extension of the ‘Right to Rent’ provisions; and the rights of migrants to accommodation.
Housing Law Handbook is structured and written in a user-friendly way, making it both an indispensable handbook for the experienced housing lawyer and also accessible to non-specialist advisers and students of housing law. Each chapter begins with key points and each section contains checklists and summaries. The book is also fully supported by appendices and precedents.
