New Independent Report On the Private Rented Sector

A new independent report examines the impact of proposed housing polices on the UK’s private rented sector (PRS).  The report looks at the wider roles and responsibilities of those involved in the rental process and how the PRS needs to change to meet the needs of a growing tenant population.  There has been growing scrutiny of the sector and a call for it to become a more ‘mature’ market offering good value for money together with security of tenure and properties which are let in good condition. The report concludes that while the PRS works well for most tenants and landlords, it does fail a proportion, notably through the condition of rented property and retaliatory eviction.  Download the report from the RICS website.
