Private Renting

Private renting refers to leasing a property—such as an apartment or house—from a private landlord or company, rather than through a housing association or local authority. It offers flexibility and a range of property options, with tenants typically signing a lease agreement that details rent, duration, and responsibilities. Rent is paid regularly, and tenants usually handle most upkeep, although landlords are responsible for major repairs. Private renting can be suitable for those seeking temporary housing, or who value variety and flexibility in their living arrangements. It’s a common housing choice, regulated by national landlord and tenant laws.
