Riassunto

Repairs: tenants' rights 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. Repairs looks at the repairing obligations of landlords in the social and private rented sectors, the remedies open to tenants to enforce their rights and the actions that can be taken to secure compensation for loss and hardship suffered. It outlines the powers available to local councils to address adverse housing conditions using environmental, criminal and housing legislation; and covers a range of other issues such as infestations, hazards and absence of amenities.
