Long-term private rental in a changing Australian private rental sector

This is the Final Report of an Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) funded project which provides a comprehensive account of the characteristics of the contemporary private rental sector (PRS) in Australia, including changes in recent decades. The following three questions form the focus of t he research: 1.How has the private rental sector, and characteristics of private renter households within it, changed over time? 2.Who rents long term in the private rental sector (10 or more years) and how does longer term rental feature in their housing pathways? 3. How does long term private rental relate to economic, social, health and housing outcomes, including for potentially ‘vulnerable’ households, over time?
