The innovative three-part structure covers all the topics of a typical Housing Law module and it is written in a clear and conversational style, with a wide range of source material to show how the law is created, interpreted and used in real life.

Where relevant, chapters end with a section on 'the future' that discusses proposed changes to the law and the impact of those changes. It also discusses the conceptual issues raised by the Human Rights Act.

'… a monumental text which will sit equally well on the bookshelves of law or social/public policy students concerned with housing.' Stuart Lowe, Housing Studies
