Description: "This fourth edition of the Butterworths Residential Landlord and Tenant Handbook incorporates the major legislative developments which have occurred since publication of the previous edition in 2005. In particular all the secondary legislation made under the Housing Act 2004 is included as are some further regulations made under Part 2 of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002. Although there have been no major housing or landlord and tenant measures since the third edition, there has been some considerable amendment to landlord and tenant legislation which appears in the Handbook, and all of these amendments have been incorporated." "The inclusion of the secondary legislation made under the Housing Act 2004 will be of particular help to practitioners as so much of the practical workings and the effects of the Act depend on the details in these regulations. This includes the very detailed regulations on the Housing Health and Safety Rating system; the new duties and powers for local housing authorities to deal with houses in multiple occupation and the selective licensing of private landlords; the other management powers including Empty Dwelling Management Orders; the new system for the handling of tenancy deposits; revisions to the statutory right to buy and other matters affecting local housing authorities and other social landlords and all the other aspects of the legislation." "This handbook is a source of reference for practitioners, in both the public and private sectors, who deal with such issues as leasehold enfranchisement, the right to buy, assured, secure and protected tenancies, disrepair, the housing fitness rating standard, houses in multiple occupation, selective licensing of private landlords, local housing authority management powers and all other areas of residential landlord and tenant law. Other professionals working in associated fields, such as surveyors, managing agents and housing managers, will also find this publication indispensable, as will academics and students."--BOOK JACKET.
