About This Book

A collection of practical essays, reports and letters that explain methods for managing small houses and tenements occupied by working families, combining businesslike administration with tact and personal responsibility. It outlines the selection and training of managers, routine repairs and sanitation, rent collection, and tenant relations, and presents municipal, cooperative and foreign examples as illustrations. The pieces contend that careful, empowered management and encouragement of tenant participation can prevent housing decline as effectively as clearance schemes, improve living conditions in both old and new property, and reconcile owners’ interests with the welfare of occupiers.
