Placing the law in its historical, political and social context, this work offers an exposition and critical analysis of the most important legal provisions relating to housing. It traces the decline and fall of private rented housing in England and Wales, and examines the recent attempts to revitalise the sector, together with some of the problems associated with private renting such as harassment. It describes the birth and development of council housing, and explains how the policy of making local authorities enablers, rather than providers, of public housing has been and is being achieved (including the reasons for, and consequences of, the right to buy legislation and the role of housing associations). Finally, it explores the law on homelessness and the way in which Victorian notions of the deserving poor have been reflected in recent policy and legislation on the provision of accommodation for the homeless.
