Book review: Housing Law Handbook, 6th Edition

258055

“The latest edition does an exemplary job of finding a balance between breadth & depth across the broad range of housing law topics it addresses”

  • Author: Diane Astin
  • Publisher: Legal Action Group
  • ISBN: 9781913648954
  • RRP: £85.00

The sixth edition of the Housing Law Handbook by Diane Astin stands at 1,197 pages and has been updated to include the changes brought about by the Renters Rights Act 2025. At this juncture, when the landlord-tenant relationship in England has undergone its most significant change in a generation, the timing for this latest edition is spot on.

As previous editions have done, the handbook clearly sets out the scope of its engagement with housing law in an easy-to-navigate contents page and helpful tables of cases, statutes, statutory instruments, and EU and international legislation. If you are looking for a general overview of a topic or the specific impact of a particular piece of caselaw or legislation, you can therefore tailor your reading accordingly.
