This article analyzes the private rental-housing crisis in three countries--the United States, Great Britain and the Netherlands. It gives comparative data that indicate the seriousness of the situation in these three countries, such as percentage of private rental stock, the number of starts, vacancy rates, affordability of private rental housing, and number of people homeless or in inadequate temporary shelters. It explains some reasons for the reduced stock of private rental housing.This paper, in its opening section, elaborates on the need for private rental stock. It lists reasons why such housing is needed (such as mobility, temporary housing, life-cycle requirements, increased household formation and changed perspectives on living arrangements and lifestyle, as well as private rental housing for the poor, minorities, problem-oriented groups and female-headed households). This paper also covers the governmental need for private rental housing to avoid overuse of land and other resources and to cut shelter subsidization. Private rental housing is also needed to compensate for lowered housing purchases because of the affordability crisis. Additional informationNotes on contributorsElizabeth D. HuttmanElizabeth D.
