New figures prove what we already know: landlords are doing a great job! A recent government report shows that private renters are actually more satisfied with their homes than those living in council housing.

Private Renters Are Smiling

According to the latest English Housing Survey, a whopping 82% of private renters are happy with their accommodation. That’s higher than the 74% of social renters who feel the same way.

Good Service, Good Landlord

It’s not just the homes themselves that renters are happy with, it’s the service they receive. A huge 76% of private renters say they’re satisfied with their landlord’s work, compared to just 64% of social tenants.

Don’t Let the Bad Apples Spoil the Bunch

Of course, there are always bad landlords, but this data proves that the vast majority are doing their best to provide good homes for their tenants. Meera Chindooroy, a spokesperson for the National Residential Landlords Association, said: “We know there are challenges in the rental market, but these figures show that the vast majority of landlords are providing decent housing for their tenants.”

The Bottom Line

The next time someone complains about landlords, remember these numbers. This is proof positive that the majority of landlords are doing a great job, providing good homes for their renters and contributing to a healthy housing market.
