Download or read book Selective Licensing written by Paul Oatt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the private rented sector has overtaken social housing to become the main housing provider with some of the worse housing conditions that are linked to preventable health inequalities. This book seeks to expand upon previous research in the area with a focus on selective licensing and enforcement, using a case study to illustrate changes in working practices that have been bought about through new powers being made available to local authorities to issue civil financial penalties upon criminal landlords. The book examines the impact of this legislation on regulatory enforcement in the London Borough of Newham’s property licensing scheme, delivered in a multi-agency partnership across its private rented sector, and the outcomes of combining the use of licensing and traditional housing inspections with use of civil penalties in alternative to prosecution to address some of the worse effects of poor housing. The study also considers the limitations of employing informal actions to address such issues as well as identifying both the barriers to collaboration and the most effective strategies for service delivery where agencies – such as the police, border agency, council tax and local planning, irrespective of inter-agency competition – work together to achieve individual and shared objectives in evolving partnerships. The findings here will be of keen interest to environmental health professionals, academics, and indeed those operating in local authorities themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the law relating to houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) in part 2 of the Housing Act 2004 that local authorities environmental health practitioners use to regulate this sector. This book emerged from a set of course notes developed for a course on HMO property but took on a life of its own as the law has become increasingly complex. The law on HMOs is constantly evolving as its practical and actual application and effect on landlords is heavily dependent on the way it is interpreted by the Tribunals. This book also addresses the 2016 Housing and Planning Act, includes up-to-date key cases, and discusses how they interpret and develop the law. It also explores the limits and weaknesses of the law and the competing interpretations of key passages to illustrate where the current debates are and how they might be resolved. This book is aimed at a professional audience spread across the housing sector with enough detail to satisfy experienced environmental health and other professionals and extensive footnotes to enable further research. Other officers - housing advisers, landlords, agents - who are newer to the subject of housing law will find this a detailed introduction to the basics.

Book excerpt: This Act, given Royal Assent on 18th November 2004, takes forward provisions contained in the original Green Paper (ISBN 1851123784, published 2000), and incorporates subsequent policy statements and responses to the draft Housing Bill (Cm. 5793, ISBN 0101579322, published 2003).

The Act applies to England and Wales, and has an Explanatory Note (ISBN 0105634042).
Download or read book Housing written by Great Britain. Law Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report completes the Law Commission's programme of work on the reform and modernisation of housing law and practice. Earlier reports were (1) "Renting homes" (Law Com. 297, Cm. 6781, ISBN 9780101678124) and (2) "Housing: proportionate dispute resolution (Law Com. 309, Cm. 7377, ISBN 9780101737722). The focus of this report is the private rented sector, specifically the repair and maintenance of the property and harassment and unlawful eviction. It builds on the consultation paper on this topic (2007, Consultation paper 181, ISBN 9780117037816). Part 1 sets out the background, and part 2 considers the case for change. Part 3 reviews the history of regulation. The options for change outlined in the discussion paper are rehearsed in part 4 and part 5 sets out the conclusions drawn by the Commission from the responses to that paper (which are detailed in appendix B). Part 6 sets out the recommendations for reform. The review offers the prospect of a new regulatory approach that will be of significant social benefit. Implementation of the recommendations in "Renting homes" would contribute to the understanding of both landlords and occupiers of their mutual legal rights and responsibilities and encourage responsible renting. Smart regulation is proposed, involving much greater self-regulation by the sector, the establishment of housing standards monitors and codes of practice for housing management practice and letting agents. The recommendations set out a series of affordable and proportionate measures that, by enhancing self-regulation, will improve the management of the private rented sector.

Book excerpt: We are having a content crisis! Our attention isn't the same anymore and we the 'content' people have to rethink our approach. We've spent over a decade feeding these massive companies with content and it's more important than ever to own your content footprint. This book was written prior to the boom in AI and the Social Media Shift we are seeing, anticipating the need for people to reclaim the content that they own without losing it to the digital abyss. My goal with this book is to bring new life, ideas and synergies to people who've wanted to get back to understanding the value of content in their organization, vertical or for their brand. What soon became clear to me after March 2020 was that it will never be the content that we create that is actually king, it will always be the connection. Platforms, trends, channels, apps, services and groups will always evolve into many forms, but your hard value will be your only factor that you can control. I've worked in content from beta tape to cloud AI Strategy, from Big brands to local brands, and the only thing I see consistently is a plea for a content strategy solution. I've struggled with the idea of content strategy for a while. I find it to be an umbrella term for multiple inputs which leaves a lot of un accountabilityContent doesn't live and die on social platforms and in marketing campaigns, it is often a purpose-driven initiative that we've lost sight of, simply because we often don't take the time to evaluate what our multiple KPIs are. It's time for the worlds of creators, brand managers and producers to stop to consider where the real value is coming from.
