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. Its succinct style bridges the gap between the needs of the specialist practitioner, the non-lawyer and the student. The Manual identifies the principal housing rights of tenants and other occupiers and outlines the law affecting the occupation of residential property. 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
