Communities Get Help with Legal Issues on Run-Down Properties

A clinic at the West Virginia University College of Law has published a free legal guide for dealing with dilapidated properties, after a need came from working with local governments. Several communities have complained about dilapidated properties, which can be health and safety hazards as well as eyesores. But the complex legal issues around the properties were preventing communities from dealing with them. The book is available from download at wvleap.wvu.edu.
