PRS key facts
About these pages
This section of the website provides a set of statistics relevant to the Private Rented Sector (PRS).
The NRLA track over 50 separate data sets. The NRLA use only datasets produced by official statistical services, government departments or bodies of similar standing.
The objective of these pages is to produce a fact-based narrative of trends in the sector. The NRLA always does its best to keep this data relevant and accurate. However, resource constraints and simple human error may get in the way of this ambition. Many data sets are subsequently revised by the responsible agency. These updates may not be immediately processed here.
The NRLA advise users to always check the data against its source – each chart has a link. We will be happy to correct any errors spotted by individual users of the data.
