One of the most contradictory and problematic
developments in private renting lies in the growth in Buy to Let tenancies on
council estates, a new report says. Published by the London School of Economics
and Political Science (LSE), the report identifies the anomaly that sees

properties are now re-let privately, posing “major challenges” for housing
management in driving up Housing Benefit bills and maintenance problems on
flatted estates. Download the report, Private
