housing law
Residential legal framework
Housing law is the body of legal rules governing residential property—who can live where, under what terms, and with what protections.
It encompasses landlord-tenant relations, rent control, eviction procedures, fair housing requirements prohibiting discrimination, zoning regulations, and public housing programs.
