This is the third edition of a guide to the law and practice governing security of tenure for all public and private-sector residential tenants, and related possession proceedings. The section dealing with possession proceedings against freeholders and lessees - usually because of mortgage arrears - covers, in detail, a problem faced by ever-increasing numbers of residents. The authors, all specialists in housing law, provide a comprehensive explanation of housing status and security, supported by references to statute and case-law, as well as chapters on all aspects of possession procedure.
