Private Rental Sector Review

Under Housing for All, the Government is committed to increasing the supply of rental properties and

protecting renters while trying to retain small landlords in the system and encourage sustainable

investment.

The Housing for All Action Plan Update, published in November 2022, included a commitment to “Review the operation of the private rental sector and report on policy considerations”.

This review:
