This book is the result of the successful collaboration between two research networks: the Housing Law Working Group of the European Network for Housing Research (ENHR) and the TENLAW research network. It deals with evictions, their social background and regulation under procedural and human rights law; housing problems of indigenous and ethnic minorities and immigrants; the relationship between landlords, tenants and agents and the private rental sector; housing satisfaction and the instruments and models to measure it; and fi nally national instances of the European housing crises in Spain, Germany and Romania. The contributions in this volume will further enhance the understanding of housing law and rights, and provide useful materials for future comparative analysis.

Houses, Homes and the Law is the third volume in the series that seeks to examine the many facets of housing law from a variety of academic and professional perspectives.
