    Housing law: what is it ?

    Housing law concerns all the provisions surrounding the relationship established between the owner of a property and the tenant. This relationship is structured around a lease agreement which determines the obligations of each party. The legislation also provides for various legal provisions to guarantee a respectful relationship between the lessor and the tenant. The lease agreement then constitutes a central point of housing law, hence the importance of being assisted by a competent lawyer, to avoid any ambiguity in the clauses of the contract.
