The Private Rented Sector is a classification of United Kingdom housing tenure as described by the Department for Communities and Local Government, a UK government department that has amongst its remit the monitoring of the UK housing stock. Other classifications are: * Owner-occupied * Rented from registered social landlords (housing association) * Rented from local authorities The private rented sector consists of 2.7m dwellings in the United Kingdom or 10% of the total housing stock. Of this total, 2.4m are in England, representing 12% of the English housing stock. The sector has grown by over 10% in the last ten years and, according to the Centre for Economics and Business Research, is forecast to grow by a further 40% over the coming ten years . == History of the private rented sector == For the greater part of the 20th century the private rented sector was in long-term decline. The combination of growth in owner-occupation and the role of the state as a landlord, through local authority housing and latterly the Housing Association movement, contributed to a decline in the private rented sector (PRS). Rising prosperity and pro home-ownership Government policies brought owner-occupation to its peak in the 1980s, whilst reducing the private rented sector. During this period owner-occupied dwellings rose by 24% whilst the private rented sector contracted by 10%. Growth in the PRS was inhibited by a regulatory regime that discouraged landlords . Regulated rents reduced returns and tenant legislation limited the landlords' right to recover their property from a defaulting tenant. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Private rented sector」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
