This guide contains a wealth of up-to-date information, based on latest census data, on private renters within the UK. There are chapters looking at:
- history and context of the modern private rented sector
- size and distribution of the private rented sector
- types of privately rented properties
- characteristics of people who rent privately, and
- characteristics of privately renting households.
The analysis compares the private rented sector with owner occupation and social rented housing to help identify its key characteristics, and to show how it is in many respects a unique tenure. Different ‘sub-sectors’ of the private rented sector are also analysed to explore the extent of diversity within the tenure.
The report examines the ways in which the private rented sector and its sub-sectors vary geographically across the UK, how there are variations across different types of area, and how there are variations according to differing rural and urban contexts. An appendix contains a listing of some key characteristics of the private rented sector for all UK local authority areas.
The report concludes that the private renting remains a diverse tenure that performs a number of important roles within the modern housing system. Looking to the future, it suggests that the flexibility of the private rented sector may continue to be one of it’s key strengths.
