Housing Conditions: tenants' rights is the definitive legal guide
to bad housing conditions in rented accommodation in England. It
covers the private rented sector, council housing and homes let by
housing associations or other social landlords. Previously titled
Repairs: tenants' rights, it has long been recognised as the
essential text for all housing advisers and lawyers dealing with
disrepair and other adverse conditions affecting residents in
rented housing accommodation. The Homes (Fitness for Human
Habitation) Act 2018, coming into force in March 2019, is the
biggest advance in tenants' rights relating to housing conditions
for a generation. Initially, it will require all new lettings to be
of homes fit for habitation and that they be kept fit. It will
further come to apply to virtually all residential tenancies
whenever granted. This new edition takes a broader approach to
housing conditions in the light of the new Act and this is
reflected in the new title and also a significant revision and
restructuring of the content. The text of the book is now concerned
more generally with problems arising from the poor condition of
much rented housing. It deals with fitness for human habitation and
with health and safety issues going well beyond the traditional
concern of lawyers and other advisers with the topic of
repair/disrepair (while also dealing with those issues). Housing
Conditions: tenants' rights outlines what tenants can do to obtain
better conditions themselves, but also what local councils,
responsible for housing conditions in their areas, can do to help
them achieve improved conditions. Contents include: *landlords'
obligations *enforcing rights *private tenants: involving the local
council *funding *proceedings under the Environmental Protection
Act 1990 *criminal proceedings and rogue landlords *infestations,
hazards and absence of amenities *compensation *Practical
step-by-step guidance on how to bring a disrepair claim *Extensive
set of precedents with worked examples used at all stages of the
court process, extracts from legislation and helpful guidance on
technical information Housing Conditions: tenants' rights is about
bad housing conditions in rented accommodation in England. It is
primarily written for the assistance of the occupiers of that
housing and their advisers, but it will also be useful to
landlords, providers of accommodation and to those who advise them.
Written and structured in an accessible and practical way, it is an
indispensable resource for both non-lawyers and busy practitioners.
