Development Of Ukrainian Real Property And Mortgage Law: The American Perspective, Zhanna Bulkina
Development Of Ukrainian Real Property And Mortgage Law: The American Perspective, Zhanna Bulkina
San Diego International Law Journal
Modern Ukrainian commercial law started to develop following the break-up of the Soviet Union in August 1991 and the reemergence of Ukraine as an independent democratic state. As a result of the break-up, in 1991 the new state of Ukraine inherited the jurisprudence, institutions and government of the former Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. While Ukraine quickly shed its Soviet past by changing the communist names of streets and institutions, the transition was not as easy when it came to substantive changes in Ukrainian jurisprudence and legal thinking. Ukraine needed to develop its own system of law to establish an open …

Nevertheless, Gelinda was caught with drugs three blocks from the apartment. Despite the fact that Ms. Rucker had no knowledge of Gelinda's drug activity, and in fact had been carefully monitoring what happened in her apartment, the Oakland Housing Authority …

We close with a new paradigm for addressing fair housing in the future and utilizing the opportunities presented by this crisis to produce a fair housing opportunity and a just society for all.
Responsible Development? The Need For Revision To Seattle's Inclusionary Housing Plan, Jay A. Riffkin
Responsible Development? The Need For Revision To Seattle's Inclusionary Housing Plan, Jay A. Riffkin
Seattle University Law Review
This Comment explores how Seattle's enactment of a limited inclusionary housing plan can effectively meet the challenges of responsible development, both satisfying the city's need for density and affordability and maintaining an economic environment conducive to developer profitability. Although Seattle's current inclusionary housing plan may give adequate incentives to developers, the city needs to move away from its current voluntary plan and toward a mandatory plan that balances increasing developer incentives with a demand for affordable onsite development to serve a broader spectrum of income levels. Part II of this Comment lays out the background of exclusionary and inclusionary zoning …
A Closer Look At Seemingly Pro-Tenant Provisions In The Residential Tenancies Act, Mary Truemner
A Closer Look At Seemingly Pro-Tenant Provisions In The Residential Tenancies Act, Mary Truemner
Journal of Law and Social Policy
Explores how the following legislative changes in Ontario systemically affect the power imbalance between landlords and tenants: (1) the abolishment of the default eviction, (2) the return of orders prohibiting rent increases where the landlord has not properly maintained the rental premises, (3) the deeming of a termination date where the tenant has not provided proper notice, and (4) additions to defences to eviction applications.
"Deference" Versus "Security Of Tenure": Eviction Of Residents Of Subsidized Housing Co-Operatives At The Superior Court Of Justice For Ontario, 1992-2009, Jeff Schlemmer
Journal of Law and Social Policy
Explores the different levels of protection against arbitrary eviction for Ontario residents of subsidized government housing and those living in a housing cooperative or another type of subsidized housing. The difference comes from the evolution of the case law over the last decade, where all evictions from residential tenancies, except housing cooperatives, have been removed from the jurisdiction of courts. This is based on the theory that cooperatives function as "democracies" and residents who accept subsidized housing in a housing cooperative, voluntarily lose the legislative rights that protects all other tenants. This area of law has become unsustainable. The court …

Jones V. Mayer Revisited, Symposium: New Strategies In Fair Housing, Mira Tanna
Cleveland State Law Review
This article revisits Jones v. Mayer. Jones v. Mayer, decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1968, was the first Supreme Court case to rule that the Civil Rights Act of 1866--which guarantees the same right of all citizens to inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold, and convey real and personal property as is enjoyed by white citizens--applies not only to actions of the state but also to private parties.
Do Not (Re)Enter: The Rise Of Criminal Background Tenant Screening As A Violation Of The Fair Housing Act, Rebecca Oyama
Do Not (Re)Enter: The Rise Of Criminal Background Tenant Screening As A Violation Of The Fair Housing Act, Rebecca Oyama
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
Increased landlord discrimination against housing applicants with criminal histories has made locating housing in the private market more challenging than ever for individuals with criminal records. Specifically, the increased use of widely available background information in the application process by private housing providers and high error rates in criminal record databases pose particularly difficult obstacles to securing housing. Furthermore, criminal record screening policies disproportionately affect people of color due to high incarceration rates and housing discrimination. This Note examines whether the policies and practices of private housing providers that reject applicants because of their prior criminal records have an unlawful, …

Campbell Law Review
Part I of this Article provides a brief introduction to North Carolina's experience thus far with the foreclosure crisis and introduces the broad array of statutorily granted tools local governments might employ to deal with vacant or abandoned dwellings in varying stages of neglect. Part II discusses the general police power that serves as the first line of defense against the decline of vacant or abandoned housing, as well as how that power is limited by state statutes governing minimum housing standards. Part III then turns to those minimum housing statutes to examine their operation and limitations. Part IV analyzes …

The High Cost Of Segregation: Exploring Racial Disparities In High-Cost Lending, Vicki Been, Ingrid Ellen, Josiah Madar
The High Cost Of Segregation: Exploring Racial Disparities In High-Cost Lending, Vicki Been, Ingrid Ellen, Josiah Madar
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article argues that policy makers addressing racial disparities in the share of subprime mortgages must take into account the relationship between existing levels of racial segregation and the racial disparities in the types of mortgages homeowners received. The authors examine approximately 200 metropolitan areas across the country and note the significant racial disparities in the percentage of subprime mortgages received by different racial groups. Various mechanisms that explain these racial disparities are also explored. The authors ultimately conclude that residential segregation plays a significant role in shaping lending patterns.

Bringing It All Back Home: How To Save Main Street, Ignore K Street, And Thereby Save Wall Street, Robert Hockett
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article argues that the most effective and constitutionally sound method of solving the mortgage crisis would be directing the Treasury Department to administer TARP through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and government-sponsored enterprises Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae The author contends that these were established precisely to deal with low-end mortgage financing and refinancing. However, the present crisis stems directly from intrusions on these institutions' original missions by under-regulated private firms. The author provides an overview of the causes of the mortgage crisis, the founding and functioning of mortgage finance institutions, and ultimately sketches how TARP would be channeled …
