The paper will argue that the meaning and definition of private renting varies from country to country and this presents a series of challenges for comparative research.

The once clear demarcation of funding and roles of the social and market rental sectors seems to have become blurred in a number of European countries. Social renting is no longer provided only by non-profit organisations. The extent to which a gap can be identified between the social and market rental sectors in six countries in north-west...
