The private rented sector in the new century a comparative approach (med dansk sammenfatning)

This research report aims to clarify the role that regulation has played in determining the scale of private rental provision across Europe. This is a topic on which politicians, academics and other commentators take very different views, often on the basis of rather limited information. The objective of this project is therefore to help fill the evidence gap by clarifying the changing scale of private rented provision in eleven case study countries in Europe; showing how regulation in the private rented sector has changed over the last decades; and assessing the other factors that have been important in defining the role of the sector.
