Against a century-long trend of decline, the private rented sector grew significantly during the 1990s. This book explores why and looks at the consequences for tenants and landlords, as well as the wider implications for housing policy. The initial chapters provide background information about the recent history and development of the private rented sector. The remaining chapters explore the changing nature of the private rented sector and how it relates to the social housing sectors, the impact of the social security system, the financing and investment context of the sector, the experience of young people and the issues of housing standards. Written by legal and policy experts, the book brings together, for the first time in over a decade, leading-edge research on the newly deregulated private rented sector. The book will be invaluable reading for law, public policy, housing and social policy students. Housing practitioner also find it a stimulating read.
