43 Indiana Law Review 1125 (2010) |
Suppose you live in a two-bedroom apartment and your roommate moves out. You want to stay in the apartment, but you cannot afford the rent on your own, so you go to an on-line housing locator site like Craigslist and post an ad under Roommate Wanted.

FROM HALLWAY CORRIDOR TO HOMELESSNESS: TENANTS LACK RIGHT TO COUNSEL IN NEW YORK HOUSING COURT |
17 Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law and Policy 87 (Winter, 2010) |
The New York City Housing Court (Housing Court) has been widely regarded as an ineffective institution that has not fulfilled its mandate of preserving the City's housing stock since its creation in 1972.

A home run hitter steps to the plate. The pitcher peers into the catcher, who signals for a fastball. The pitcher gets set, winds up, and releases the baseball. Crack!

People with severe and persistent mental illness are too often evicted from their housing for reasons that are truly related to a disability, in violation of state and federal law.

WHILE it seems logical that the rights acquired through the purchase or rental of a home would include the right to have water, sewer service, or police protection provided to you in the same manner that it is provided to your neighbor, housing discrimination continues to occur throughout the United States. Since 1968, however, the Fair Housing Act... |

THE FALSE PROMISE OF THE MIXED-INCOME HOUSING PROJECT |

Since 1970, mixed-income (inclusionary) housing projects have proliferated in the United States. In a community of this sort, only some of the dwelling units, perhaps as few as 10 to 25 percent, are targeted for delivery of housing assistance. Eligible households that successively occupy these particular units pay below-market rents, while the... |
