When a house is not a home

Edwards, M.

When a house is not a home - 2002 - Estates Gazette (0221) 25 may 2002, 140(1) .

A recent case "R (on the application of Hossack) v Kettering BC and another" (2002) highlights that the court has held that people living in the same property cannot always be classed as a single household - a sufficient relationship must exist. The law courts ruled in the case that no such relationship existed between the residents which classified them as living in the same house. It was realistic to view the use of the properties together as having the characteristics of a hostel.
