Landlord and tenant law Books
Legal Action Group Housing Conditions: tenants' rights
Book SynopsisHousing Conditions: tenants' rights is the definitive legal guide to bad housing conditions in rented accommodation in England. It covers the private rented sector, council housing and homes let by housing associations or other social landlords. Previously titled Repairs: tenants' rights, it has long been recognised as the essential text for all housing advisers and lawyers dealing with disrepair and other adverse conditions affecting residents in rented housing accommodation. The Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018, coming into force in March 2019, is the biggest advance in tenants' rights relating to housing conditions for a generation. Initially, it will require all new lettings to be of homes fit for habitation and that they be kept fit. It will further come to apply to virtually all residential tenancies whenever granted. This new edition takes a broader approach to housing conditions in the light of the new Act and this is reflected in the new title and also a significant revision and restructuring of the content. The text of the book is now concerned more generally with problems arising from the poor condition of much rented housing. It deals with fitness for human habitation and with health and safety issues going well beyond the traditional concern of lawyers and other advisers with the topic of repair/disrepair (while also dealing with those issues). Housing Conditions: tenants' rights outlines what tenants can do to obtain better conditions themselves, but also what local councils, responsible for housing conditions in their areas, can do to help them achieve improved conditions. Contents include: *landlords' obligations *enforcing rights *private tenants: involving the local council *funding *proceedings under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 *criminal proceedings and rogue landlords *infestations, hazards and absence of amenities *compensation *Practical step-by-step guidance on how to bring a disrepair claim *Extensive set of precedents with worked examples used at all stages of the court process, extracts from legislation and helpful guidance on technical information Housing Conditions: tenants' rights is about bad housing conditions in rented accommodation in England. It is primarily written for the assistance of the occupiers of that housing and their advisers, but it will also be useful to landlords, providers of accommodation and to those who advise them. Written and structured in an accessible and practical way, it is an indispensable resource for both non-lawyers and busy practitioners.Trade Review`This is an excellent book. No one should even consider advising or representing tenants with disrepair unless they have a copy.' New Law Journal; `A very useful, concise and well-written guide to this complex area and a must for the busy practitioner.' Law Society Gazette

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Ways out of the European Housing Crisis: Tenure
Book SynopsisThis timely book provides readers with a detailed comparative survey of tenure innovation and diversification in Europe. Alternative and intermediate tenures, i.e., housing options beyond tenancy and homeownership, are examined as remedies to address the growing European housing crisis.Starting with an introduction to national housing systems and their development, contributions from experienced legal academics explain the potential of alternative and intermediate tenures used in individual countries. Divided into groups reflecting not only geographical vicinity, but also roughly similar types of welfare states, the book examines 14 jurisdictions all over Europe. Taken together, the national models constitute what can be labelled a European acquis of housing options. The final comparative evaluation focuses on selecting best practice models, potentially capable of being transferred to, and used beneficially in, other countries.Addressing the European Housing Crisis will be of great interest for academics in European law, property law and public administration and management. It will also be a key resource for policy makers and experts associated with political institutions, civil society and housing associations, both at European and national levels.Trade Review‘This very valuable text develops an informative taxonomy within which it compares the growing range of innovations in intermediate tenures that have been developed in the face of the worsening housing crisis across Europe. It is an invaluable reference text not just for lawyers but for those working across the fields of housing economics and finance.’ -- Christine Whitehead, London School of Economics, UK‘This far reaching book really widens the scope of current comparative housing research by offering – within a common analytical frame – a detailed discussion on the whole repertoire of regulations for various housing settings, beyond homeownership and rentals, in 14 European countries. It is a must-read for comparative researchers.’ -- Teresio Poggio, University of Trento, Italy‘In the face of the current housing crisis in most EU countries, alternative and intermediate tenures below and between rent and ownership are in the focus of both researchers and policy makers. When searching for new models for better accommodating individual housing needs, it is highly recommended to examine previous experiences in other countries. The comparative legal groundwork laid in this book provides an excellent basis to rethink and complement the national portfolios of housing tenures. A powerful testimony to the Europeanisation of housing studies!’ -- Steffen Sebastian, University of Regensburg, GermanyTable of ContentsContents: Preface xvi Tenure reform as a means to address the European housing crisis 1 Christoph U.
