Book The Harassment and Abuse of Older People in the Private Rented Sector

Download or read book The Harassment and Abuse of Older People in the Private Rented Sector written by Carlton, Nancy and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2003-01-29 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Help the Aged funded this major study because of concerns that older people living in private rented housing were vulnerable to abuse and harassment by landlords. Drawing upon detailed research with older people, professionals and landlords in six different localities, the report provides the first major study of this important issue. The report concludes with a series of recommendations to central and local government. These include the need for changes in such areas as the overall regulation of the sector, the rights of older tenants and in the housing benefit system. The recommendations also cover the need for better training for professionals about abuse and harassment, improved age related records and the need for improved funding for advice and advocacy services. This study will be essential reading for a wide range of practitioners and academics whose interests and responsibilities span older people and their reliance upon the housing and welfare systems.
