Book Synopsis
An intervention into private renting in the UK, including corruption, inequality and deregulation

Trade Review
'Every private renter in the UK needs to buy this book' -- Shiv Malik, Guardian investigative journalist and co-author of 'Jilted Generation'
'It is time to change what is possible. Rents are too high. The quality of what is rented is too low. Rights are minimal. The market has failed. Rosie Walker and Samir Jeraj have explored all the possible escape routes and found the way out' -- Danny Dorling, Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography, University of Oxford, and author of 'All That is Solid' (Penguin, 2015)
'The authors skilfully weave together stories and statistics, giving you human depth of anecdotes backed up with evidence' -- Green World
'Everyone should read this book' -- Left Foot Forward
