Welcome to the Private Rented Sector Website
This website is a gateway to information on the private rented sector in the UK. It collects the cumulative knowledge and experience of organisations that work with the private rented sector to prevent and tackle homelessness. It provides a starting point for those new to this area as well as a valuable reference point for those already familiar with the private rented sector.
The information and tools collected here are intended for a wide range of stakeholders. They will be particularly valuable to local authorities and voluntary sector agencies that help vulnerable people to access and sustain private rented accommodation. It is also a comprehensive resource for private sector landlords, tenants, and those wishing to rent in the private sector.

Developing the site
