It contains interpretation of the Housing Act 1998 and other relevant legislation, detailed assessment of case decisions and analysis of the procedures involved in claiming possession.
In addition, there is a wealth of source material and an extensive selection of prescribed forms.
Among the many topics dealt with are assured shorthold tenancies under the amendments made by the 1996 Housing Act, the Schedule 10 long tenancy at a low rent regime, all the mandatory and discretionary grounds for possession, and the impact and effect of the new statutory tort giving right to damages for wrongful eviction.
