Description

Social Housing Law focuses on specific legal issues relating to the social housing sector, both public and private. The book looks at statutory provisions and case law, drawing on the framework and body of regulatory and administrative law relevant to the sector.

The book analyses the essential legal features that distinguish social housing and its patchwork of structures and forms of regulation, offering up- to- date legal analysis and criticism of the new regulatory regime, regulatory powers and standards and especially consumer and governance standards. This is an essential guide for lawyers, landlords, housing managers and housing officers as well as policy makers, academics and students.

Social Housing Law, formerly known as Housing Associations: a legal handbook, is the only legal guide to focus on those areas of the law which are truly 'social housing law'.

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Local Government Law online service.
