Outlines, in the first of two "Mainly for students" articles, the position of claimants who seek redress against local authority landlords by relying on the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA). Indicates that three years on the HRA has not achieved the results in the field of housing law hoped for by some claimants and that the courts have acted conservatively, deferring to the views of parliament when applying Convention rights in this area of the law. Looks at the application of the HRA in housing law and leading cases involving the breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment, design defects and non-secure tenants in public sector housing. Provides a nutshell summary of some key aspects of the HRA. (See also Abs67086)
