The privately rented housing market has largely catered for young, mobile people and students since it was deregulated in the UK. In this volume, key writers provide timely insights into this rapidly evolving market. This volume is based on new, original research which brings together specialists in housing policy and legal studies, with their common and increasingly interdependent knowledge base about the privately rented sector and its future direction. The collection opens with an overview of the historical context and recent changes to the sector, such as the rapid and continued expansion of the buy-to-let market, followed by a discussion of the factors shaping the contemporary market. The contributors show how the new regulatory environment is opening a series of issues with significant potential to affect (and potentially damage) the market. The volume will interest academics and students in social and public policy, law and housing studies, as well as law practices and housing authorities.

First published in 1988. This book argues that there is a growing structural crisis in the provision of housing in advanced capitalist countries and that the steady improvement in housing conditions since 1945 is unlikely to continue. The dilemmas facing housing policy makers can no longer be seen as concerned just with distributional questions but with problems generated by the restructuring of key elements of housing provision, including private housing finance and the housebuilding industry. It looks at housing markets, housing policies and specific institutions connected with housing provision in many advanced capitalist countries, including Britain, the USA, France, West Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark. It considers the different sectors and the changes taking place there, using case study material where appropriate to support its varied and convincing arguments.
