Abstract
Description
This Research Paper is provided to communicate the findings of a survey of renters, which included an examination of renters' attitudes towards housing tenures. The sampling method used was a simple random sample; 750 respondents were contacted by telephone. The response rate was 52.7%. All respondents were in the age range 25-49, were renting in the private market, from a local authority, or were living with parents or other family members. The survey took place in August 2018 and was administered by Ipsos MRBI. The survey was intended to explore the beliefs, preferences, and other characteristics of renters with a view to generating policy-relevant information and insights. Gaining a better understanding of the dynamics shaping the tenure decisions of households is important, especially when set against the backdrop of the growth in size and economic significance of the private rental sector in recent decades.
