  This edition identifies the principal housing rights of the tenant and other occupiers, and outlines the law affecting the way in which residential property is occupied. Recent cases are studied in relation to changes in housing law, and cross-references place each topic in its context. The housing law field has been affected by a recent case on homelessness (the Awua case). The outcome of this case is regarded as the most far-reaching decision since R. v. Hillingdon LBC (1986), which made important findings regarding the interpretation of the meaning of homelessness and the extent of the duties of local authorities.

  This 4th edition of Andrew Arden's Manual of Housing Law takes full account of the changes in the law brought about by the Housing and Planning Act 1986 and the Housing Act 1988 . Particular emphasis has been given to the effects on security of tenure, the creation of the new category of the assured tenant, the privatization of the public rented sector, and housing associations. The text examines all major aspects of housing law including: occupation status and owner occupation, security of tenure by rent and housing acts, restricted security, lack of security, harassment and illegal eviction, break-up of relationships, homelessness and disrepair, overcrowding, and multiple occupation and common lodging houses. The manual is designed and written for practitioners and advisers, to keep them abreast of legislative changes and case law developments. The succinct yet informative style bridges the gap between the needs of the specialist practitioner, the non-lawyer and the student. Cases are dated within the text and cross-referencing places each topic in its full practical context.
