Among the fallout of the global financial crisis has been the difficulty low and moderate income households encounter when attempting to rent a place to live. The authors of this study address
the issue of private renting and its role in eight of the world’s advanced economies in European and Scandinavian countries, Australia and the U.S. Topics discussed include funding, ownership,
management, rent regulation, tenure security, and taxation and subsidies. They also examine the evolution of demand and supply, the part played by landlords, property management companies, and
investors in the market. The book will interest scholars and researchers as well as policy makers. Editors Crook and Kemp and eight co-authors contributed. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc.,
