520 _aLooks at the implications of the Human Rights Act 1998 for landlords and tenants of social housing. Explains that the act impacts on housing both in the new interpretation of legislation and in the activities of 'public authorities'. Lists the four relevant rights for housing relationships: Articles 8, 6, 1 and 14. Housing associations and local authorities will need to take care that relations with tenants are not in breach of Article 8; rent arrears disputes will need to be handled so as not to contravene Article 6; and the act is also expected to affect how landlords handle tenants' anti-social behaviour.
