AnnotationThis is a definitive, plain language guide to the Housing Act 1996 - a lengthy, complex and controversial piece of legislation consisting of 233 sections and 19 schedules. This guide follows the eight main parts of the Act covering different areas of housing policy: the social rented sector; houses in multiple occupation (HMOs); landlord and tenant; housing benefit and related matters; conduct of tenants; allocation of housing accommodation; homelessness; and miscellaneous and general provisions. The guide provides a brief summary of the scope of each part, the key provisions, detailed descriptions of individual sections, and commentary. An appendix sets out changes to the Housing Associations Act 1985 and Part II of the Housing Act 1988.
