A new survey by PropTech firm Goodlord has the unsurprising conclusion that the biggest worry for tenants is that their rent might go up.
The survey is small – just 231 tenants – but it found that 87 per cent named the rising cost of rent as a key concern.
The average cost of a rental property in England is now £1,071 – that’s 8.7 per cent higher than at the same time last year. As inflation persists and the supply of rental homes remains limited, more and more tenants are feeling the effects of rising prices.
