Original Article Summary
Despite recent improvements, rental supply remains well short of what is needed
Investor Analysis
Despite 89% of landlords feeling the Renters' Rights Act has shifted power to tenants, 78% of renters still struggle to find suitable homes, with rental stock remaining 20–33% below pre-pandemic and decade-ago levels. The report highlights a structural gap between stronger tenant protections and chronic undersupply.
Investor Relevance
For buy-to-let landlords and PRS investors, this reinforces that demand fundamentals remain robust — void risk is low and rental pricing power persists — while also signalling that the regulatory burden is perceived as real by landlords, which may continue to suppress new supply and sustain yields for existing portfolios.
