The Manual of Housing Law is written for practitioners and advisors to keep them abreast of legislative changes and case law developments. The seventh edition of this popular work has been extensively rewritten to take account of new legislation.

Key areas include: * Occupation status, including owner-occupation * Security of tenure by Rent and Housing Acts, including the automatic assured shorthold, grounds for possession and provisions covering anti-social conduct * Restricted security * Lack of security * Harassment and illegal eviction taking into account the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and anti-social behaviour orders * Break-up of relationships and family legislation as it relates to housing * Homelessness and allocations

Manual of Housing Law
This work provides a clear and simple to use description of all the relevant law relating to the rights and obligations of those who occupy, seek to occupy or manage property as well as the statutory rights and obligation of public authorities in relation to housing. The text throughout is in easily followed numbered paragrahs each of which provides a succinct summary of a discrete area of law. The book does not contain detailed expositions of housing law but describes each point in as brief a manner as possible, inevitably leading to oversimplification on occasions. This is nonetheless a well presented and easy to follow volume and should prove invaluable for practitioners/ advisors who need to get at the relevant law as quickly as possible.
