Event overview
Against Landlords: How to solve the housing crisis - this seminar will discuss this book by Nick Bano
Drawing on a Marxist understanding of law, policy and economics, Against Landlords argues that a state-sponsored system of rapidly-rising rents – and not a shortage of housing - is the real cause of the crisis. Instead of simply boosting supply, our focus must turn to the ways in which rents inflate the value of all types of housing. The housing system is rooted in generational strife, in colonial and racist logic, and in regional and class divides. It produces needless misery, but the solution – abolishing landlords - would be surprisingly easy to achieve.
About the speaker - Nick Bano is a barrister at Garden Court Chambers. He represents homeless people, tenants, destitute and migrant households in both public and private law disputes. He has acted on many of the important housing law cases in recent years.
