Health in Private-Rented Housing

This government document looks at the quality of housing in the private rented sector and explains the effects that housing conditions can have on health.

"The private rented sector is growing, with around 17% of UK households renting privately in 2016 compared to 11% in 2006. Private renters also live in worse housing conditions than owner-occupiers or social renters."

It also looks at interventions to improve housing quality in the private rented sector and at the challenges to implementing them.
