Transforming Private Landlords

This book explores the origins, extent and implications of this revival in the fortunes of private landlordism. It presents an in-depth, scholarly analysis of private landlords, the rationales for and ways in which governments have sought to revitalise investment in residential lettings, and their success in doing so. It also assesses the extent to which landlordism has been transformed in recent years and the lessons for policy that can be learned from this experience.
The book draws on the extensive research into private landlords conducted by the authors over the past two decades. This includes projects funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, the predecessor departments to the Department for Communities and Local Government, Scottish Homes, and the Economic and Social Research Council.

It fills a major gap in the literature about an important actor in housing provision and the built environment. Most of the recent work on private landlords has been published as research reports and there is a lack of book length scholarly study aimed at an academic rather than a policy audience.

Tony Crook is Pro-Vice Chancellor and Professor of Town and Regional Planning at the University of Sheffield.

Peter Kemp is Barnett Professor of Social Policy at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of St Cross College.



The authors are leading academic experts on privately rented housing in Britain, a subject that they have been researching separately and together since 1978 and 1979 respectively. They have conducted a succession of quantitative and qualitative studies of private landlords and are the authors of numerous reports and other publications on this topic.mehr

Thischapter presents the context within which the incoming ThatcherGovernment of 1979 sought to breath new life into private lettingas an investment. It will describe the nature of privatelandlordism in its Victorian heyday and document the subsequentdecline of landlordism up to the late 1970s..

The 1980s and 1990s witnessed a series of measures that wereintroduced in order to revive the privately rented housing market,a process that to some extent has continued into the new century.This chapter critically examines the development of governmentpolicy towards the privately rented sector, and especially the goalof reviving the private landlord, under the Conservative(1979-1997) and New Labour Governments (1997 to date)..
