Synopses & Reviews
This book provides an anatomy of the nature of private landlordism in the 1980s, types of landlord in the market, scope of their activities, and choices and constraints that guide their actions in the market.
Synopsis
The issue of private landlordism in Britain touches a raw political nerve. There is no shortage of prescription as to what should be done with the rented housing market and private landlords. Yet surprisingly little is known about the structure and diversity of private landlordism and the variety of private tenants' housing needs - a prerequisite for policy intervention.
