Abstract
First paragraph: In the context of Covid-19, we have all become
more aware of the importance of ¡®home¡¯, as national lockdowns force us to spend more time in the house. We know from a range of research around tenant perspectives that making a home can be particularly difficult in the private rented sector (PRS) ¨C factors such as insecure tenancies, issues with property quality and problems of affordability undermine tenants¡¯ comfort, autonomy and self-worth. Moreover, there is a growing evidence base that the lack of a sense of home is detrimental to health and wellbeing.
