Synopsis

This book explores theory and practice in the complex policy area of privately rented housing in England, with a particular focus on environmental and public health. Bringing together a range of both academic and practicing experts in the field, it responds to the rapid growth and changing nature of the sector and considers the range of options available to local authorities in ensuring more effective regulation strategies.

This book:

• Creates a key, up-to-date professional resource for housing regulation based on road-tested academic course material.
• Breaks down strategies and practices to an implementational level.
• Provides impetus to leaders, practitioners, and students to both deliver and reflect on improved regulation.
• Explores responses to various stakeholder needs through the lens of protecting and supporting tenants.

This book will interest professionals working in public health, housing, and local authorities, as well as environmental health and housing academia. Students across environmental health, social work, nursing, and other disciplines will also find this appealing.
