Housing Law and Precedents Looseleaf

DISCONTINUED AT THE END OF 2012.

This work provides explanation and guidance on the law relating to residential landlord and tenant. It covers all aspects from security of tenure to rents and repairing obligations, in both public and private sectors. Additionally, it deals with everything from the right to be housed to the right to buy.

This is a work which recognises that today, housing law is concerned not just with the law relating to public sector housing but also the obligations of landlord and tenant under assured or secured tenancies in the public and private sectors. The result is a fully integrated and straightforward guide to the mass of statutory codes, statutory instruments, cases and Department of Environment and Housing Corporation circulars.

Throughout the work, there is a comprehensive range of forms and precedents, including:-

• Coverage of local authority obligations to house the homeless
• Explanation of how local authority and housing association allocation policies work and how to challenge them
• The rights of long leaseholders, including service charges, security of tenure, compulsory acquisition of the freehold and rights to acquire the freehold
• Expert guidance on the enforcement of repair
