Experiencing Housing Law examines housing law in the United States through advanced property and anti-discrimination law lenses. Skills-based experiential exercises are integrated into a traditional casebook framework, featuring long-standing housing law cases along with new cases that explore the dynamism in housing law. The casebook extensively uses experiential exercises developed around current rules, statutes, regulations, and cases to help students develop essential knowledge and skills that are critical to advising clients and resolving complex housing issues. The casebook is divided into three parts. Part I investigates private housing markets. Part II considers affordable housing in both private and public markets. And, Part III discusses landlord and tenant issues. A distinctive feature of this casebook is its robust companion Teacher’s Manual, which includes hyperlinks to relevant resources that will be invaluable in assisting students work through this multi-disciplinary area of the law.
