What is a dwelling? - 2001 - New Law Journal 9 November 2001, 151(7007) 1634-1635(2) .

Analyses the ruling in "Uratemp Ventures v Collins" (1999) which resulted in many occupiers of rooms without cooking facilities in the room or a kitchen not having any long-term rights as assured or protected tenants, which has just been reversed by the House of Lords. The House of Lords held that the expression 'dwelling' in the Housing Act 1988 s1(1) means a place where the occupier lives and treats as their home and there is no requirement that cooking facilities have to be available.
