What is private renting?
Private renting involves living in a property owned by a private landlord, rather than a council or housing association. Yusuf has lived in his private rented building since 2017. Tenants pay rent and usually have a tenancy agreement outlining their rights and responsibilities, as well as those of the landlord.
