This practical guide explores the intricate interwoven relationship
between mental health and hoarding. Hoarding is put into context so that
the provisions in the Care Act 2014 and the Equality Act 2010, amongst
other statutory provisions, can be properly considered. It is the
perfect companion to understand how to carry out an eviction and what
the pitfalls are when there is a tenant suffering from a relevant mental
illness. It also explores what safeguards are in place or to be aware of
when considering or defending any action brought against someone who is
hoarding.
This book is a must for local authorities, housing associations,
landlords and those who represent vulnerable tenants.
