Housing--Mobile Homes--Some Legal Questions, Mark Summers, Frederick D. Fahrenz, David C. Shepler
Housing--Mobile Homes--Some Legal Questions, Mark Summers, Frederick D. Fahrenz, David C. Shepler
West Virginia Law Review
Because of the increasing use of the mobile home as a form of housing, practitioners will be handling an ever-increasing number of cases dealing with the problems of the mobile home resident. The four major areas of investigation of mobile home law dealt with here are taxation, zoning, warranties, and fixtures. The purpose of the article is not to reveal any particular deficiencies in West Virginia's mobile home law, but rather to investigate and synthesize the law in a comprehensive review. While there are certain areas where the need for reform has been suggested, compiling the law as a research …

Vanderbilt Law Review
The law changes. Sometimes the change is slow, perhaps agonizing,as in the case of labor law. Sometimes the change is swift and amicable as when a uniform code is universally accepted. But sometimes the law appears to stand still. Then, as society undergoes profound evolution,the law lurches and jerks about, trying to dispense justice with outmoded concepts in an alien context. If the legislatures fail to come to the rescue,it then devolves upon the courts to cut the traces and institute reforms. Such has been the case with the law of landlord and tenant. The massive changes that have been …
Race, Housing, And The Government, Nancy E. Leblanc
Race, Housing, And The Government, Nancy E. Leblanc
Vanderbilt Law Review
The problem of race and housing is complicated and limited by several factors not present in other racially controversial areas. First,the limited supply of decent housing forces the exercise of some selection in allocating existing housing resources. Second, housing is relatively fixed in nature and has a long usable life. Third, housing constitutes part of a neighborhood or a community--a total fabric of living. Finally, because of the individual nature of most transactions of buying or renting--except when a suburban tract or a new apartment house is concerned--enforcing the laws prohibiting racial discrimination in housing is very difficult. Analyzing each …
Modern Legislation, Metropolitan Court, Miniscule Results: A Study Of Detroit's Landlord-Tenant Court, Marilyn Miller Mosier, Richard A. Soble
Modern Legislation, Metropolitan Court, Miniscule Results: A Study Of Detroit's Landlord-Tenant Court, Marilyn Miller Mosier, Richard A. Soble
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This article is a description of a study of cases filed and tried in the Detroit, Michigan, Common Pleas Court, Landlord-Tenant Division, during 1970 and 1971. The court is in a large urban center and handles a high volume of cases, in most of which one or both parties appear without an attorney. The impetus for the study was Michigan legislation passed in 1968, which gave tenants additional defenses to summary eviction procedures. The main goal of the study was to observe the effects of the legislation on tenants who were subject to summary proceedings in Detroit. The purpose of …
Judicial Review And Discrimination In Federally Assisted Housing: The Enforcement Of Title Vi, Barry M. Block
Judicial Review And Discrimination In Federally Assisted Housing: The Enforcement Of Title Vi, Barry M. Block
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Section 602 of the Act was enacted to enable federal agencies to enforce this policy, and it authorizes them to issue rules and regulations which, while consistent with the objectives of the program authorizing the assistance, effectuate the provisions of Section 601. To enforce these regulations, an agency may terminate assistance to noncomplying programs, or use any other means authorized by law.
Exclusionary Zoning: A Wrong In Search Of A Remedy, Leonard S. Rubinowitz
Exclusionary Zoning: A Wrong In Search Of A Remedy, Leonard S. Rubinowitz
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This article discusses affirmative approaches to providing effective relief in two types of exclusionary zoning cases: (1) remedies specific to a particular proposed development or a given site and (2) regional remedies, which provide a generalized framework for meeting what courts are increasingly identifying as a regional problem: the need for decent housing for all families. In the first instance (the "single-site" case) a court would remove obstacles in order to facilitate development of low- and moderate- income housing on a particular suburban site. In the second case (the regional approach) a court would specify the obligation of the municipalities …
The Interrelationship Between Excusionary Subdivision Control - A Second Look, Roger A. Cunningham
The Interrelationship Between Excusionary Subdivision Control - A Second Look, Roger A. Cunningham
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The thesis of this article is that the conclusion set out above is both oversimplified and inaccurate. Contrary to the author's contention in his Journal article, there are "viable distinctions between zoning and subdivision control," and consequently the major exclusionary techniques available to suburban communities through "zoning" are simply not available in connection with "subdivision control." Dramatic attempts at racial exclusion through subdivision control are likely to be infrequent. Although subdivision regulations, like zoning ordinances and building codes, require expenditures by land developers which increase the cost of housing and thus tend to exclude the poor, the effect of subdivision …
