To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the future demand for homes to rent.
Baroness Bloomfield of Hinton Waldrist
Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)
The English Housing Survey provides information on housing stock. The proportion of Private Rented Sector (PRS) households has remained relatively stable for nearly a decade. The PRS was 19% of stock in 2013-14, increased to 20% in 2015-16 and 2016-17 and then went back to 19% thereafter.
We continue to monitor the Office for National Statistics rental price statistics as an indicator of demand and will evaluate the impact of the private rented reforms on the sector.
