Public Sector Housing Law

This acclaimed textbook is ideal for all those seeking a comprehensive overview of the duties and powers of authorities and associations as providers and allocators of housing. It offers clear and authoritative guidance through the dense mass of intertwined statutory provisions and case law decisions which make this a complex area of the law. "Previously entitled 'Hughes and Lowe: Social Housing Law and Policy', this new edition covers the changes in statute and case law since the publication of the last edition in 1995, the chief of these being the Housing Act 1996. Housing is set to become an increasingly important issue under a Labour government and a new professionalism will be required in all those involved in the provision and management of housing. This book will be of great assistance to all housing professionals and to students of housing law."
