Part III - Rights and responsibilities
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2012
Summary
Introduction to Part III
This part of the book is concerned with the social and legal construction of individual rights in housing. As in earlier chapters, we are concerned to flesh out and explain the disparities, actual and theoretical, between law, policy and practice. The framework which guides this discussion explicitly recognises that the current focus no longer reflects the grants of rights to occupants. But the animating question in this part concerns the balance between rights and responsibilities – these should not be seen as being in opposition to each other (and certainly not in the current political settlement) but as the same side of the coin; or, perhaps, as poles on a continuum.
