Families Now Most Common Household In Private Rented Sector

Families are the most common household type in the private rented sector (PRS) for the first time, according to the latest research from the National Landlords Association (NLA). The findings show that more landlords now let to families with children (48 per cent) than any other household type, overtaking young couples (47 per cent). This represents a shift compared to four years ago, when young singles made up the largest group (53 per cent), followed by young couples (51 per cent), and then families with children (51 per cent). The PRS now accounts for approximately 5 million households in the United Kingdom. Read more on the NLA website.
