Survey Busts Myths Around PRS Housing

Tenants are more satisfied with private rented accommodation than those in the social rented sector, according to figures published today from the 2015/16 English Housing Survey. It shows that 82 per cent of private sector tenants are satisfied with their current accommodation, ahead of the 81per cent who said the same about the social sector. Rates of dissatisfaction were also higher in the social sector, with 13 per cent of tenants dissatisfied with their accommodation compared to just 10 per cent in the private rented sector. 67 per cent of private sector tenants said they were satisfied with their current tenure status.
