Download or read book Tenancy Law and Housing Policy in Europe written by Christoph U. Schmid and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-26 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tenancy law has developed in all EU member states for decades, or even centuries, but constitutes a widely blank space in comparative and European law. This book fills an important gap in the literature by considering the diverse and complex panorama of housing policies, markets and their legal regulation across Europe. Expert contributors argue that that while unification is neither politically desired nor opportune, a European recommendation of best practices including draft rules and default contracts implementing a regulatory equilibrium would be a rewarding step forward.
