Housing law and practice - Gail Price

Housing Law and Practice offers a useful reference source for students, housing workers and professionals new to the area of housing law. The text provides a practical examination of the law and procedure that will help to equip students with the knowledge and skills required to complete their course, and will assist housing workers and professionals in advising and representing clients in the county courts. As well as providing a firm background in key areas such as the private rented sector and public housing, this new edition has been fully updated to cover recent developments such as the reforms introduced by the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008, including the introduction of a Family Intervention Tenancy and the abolition of the status of tolerated trespassers. Important new authorities in the areas of homelessness and human rights, for example Manchester CC v Moran (2009), HL, Birmingham CC v Ali (2009), HL, Doran v Liverpool CC (2009), CA and Wandsworth LBC v Dixon (2009), are also considered.
