This book is a compilation of papers written by research assistants, PhD students, and senior researchers working on the EVICT project, a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant project. The papers in this book enrich our conceptual understanding of the right to adequate housing by expanding on the typology of access rights, occupancy rights, and exit rights to housing. The authors traverse a diverse array of topics, shedding light on pressing issues such as housing shortages, challenges faced by students and minority groups in search of a home, the intricate link between domestic violence and homelessness, the dynamics of the black housing market, the criminalisation of homelessness, evictions, and the relationship between the right to housing and other human rights, such as the right to privacy and the right to property. The papers focus on a broad range of jurisdictions, such as France, Romania, Sweden, Turkey, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Spain, the United States, and Azerbaijan.
