The English Private Landlord Survey (EPLS) is a national survey commissioned by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). It surveys private landlords and letting agents in England, and collects information about their circumstances, their properties, their tenants, and the possible impact of legislative and policy changes in the sector. The aim of the EPLS is to inform government understanding of the characteristics and experiences of landlords and how they acquire, let, manage and maintain privately rented accommodation.

Although the EPLS explores similar issues to previous government private landlord surveys, carried out in 2001, 2003, 2006 and 2010 (the 2010 study is available under SN 7114), it uses a new method and approach. Whereas previous surveys used face-to-face and telephone interviews with the sample drawn from the English Housing Survey, the EPLS uses an online survey with the sample drawn from landlords and agents with deposits registered with one of the three government-backed Tenancy Deposit Protection (TDP) schemes.

More information about this survey can be found on the GOV.UK English Private Landlord Survey webpage.

The English Private Landlord Survey, 2018 is an online survey of almost 8,000 landlords and agents all of whom are registered with one of the three government-backed Tenancy Deposit Protection (TDP) schemes.

Main Topics:
The questionnaire included questions about the landlord, the rental property and tenants, rental practice, rents and deposits, benefits and rent arrears, tenancies that ended, the landlord journey, future plans, landlord and agent concerns, finances and taxation and energy efficiency and safety.

This dataset contains the results and analysis of the landlord survey regarding the "Acomb Front Street Adopted and Privately Maintained Highway Footpath Areas" that ran between March 2023 and September 2023.

The English House Condition Survey (EHCS) was a national survey of housing in England, commissioned by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG). The survey was originally called the National House Condition Survey and covered England and Wales. The information obtained through the survey provides an accurate picture of the type, condition and energy efficiency of housing in England, the people living there, and their views on housing and their neighbourhoods. The survey covers all tenure types.

The EHCS ran quinquennially from 1967-2001. From 2002, the survey moved to a continuous basis and the data were provided as a two-year rolling sample of approximately 16,000 cases (i.e. the data for 2003 cover information collected from April 2002 to March 2004, data for 2004 comprise information collected from April 2003 to March 2005). From April 2008, the EHCS merged with the Survey of English Housing (SEH) (available at the UK Data Archive under GN 33277) to form the English Housing Survey (EHS) (available at the Archive under GN 33422).

Further information can be found on the English House Condition Survey and English Housing Survey web pages.

The Private Landlords Survey, 2006 (PLS), commissioned by the DCLG and carried out by ONS, was a national survey of landlords and managing agents who own and/or manage privately rented properties in England. The aim of the survey was to provide a snapshot of the composition and experience of landlords and how they (together with any agent) acquire, let, manage and maintain privately rented accommodation. A similar survey of private landlords was carried out in the years 2001 and 2003 (only the 2006 and a later 2010 PLS (now part of the EHS) are currently held at the Archive). The 2006 PLS sample was assembled from the information supplied by private-renting tenants participating in the main EHCS household interview survey in 2004/05 and 2005/06 (see SNs 6104 and 6105 respectively). For further details, see documentation.


Main Topics:

The interviews covered: respondent characteristics; landlord's portfolio; nationality/ethnicity; licensing; letting practice; acquisition of the rental property; current letting; financial information about current letting; tenancies that ended in last two years; repairs; neighbourhood; landlord problems.

According to a survey among 755 residential landlords based in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2019, more than half of respondents have had disputes with their tenants. Nevertheless, 35 percent of landlords experienced disagreements once or less than once a year. Most often, disputes were over arrears, cleanliness, pets, subletting or breakages.

This paper gives results from STATUS surveys including local authority tenants’ satisfaction with landlord services (National Indicator 160).

NSW Tenancy laws say how residential tenancy agreements can be ended. Tenancies are usually terminated by the tenant, landlord, the landlord's agent, or by a Tribunal order. Fair Trading conducted an end-of tenancy survey to collect data about how and why tenancies end. This survey was designed to help Fair Trading to better understand the renting experience to help inform future tenancy reforms.

The survey process: Every principal tenant and landlord or nominated agent is asked to complete a survey when a bond claim is finalised through an online bonds system. Survey invitations are sent by email and participation is voluntary. Individual responses are kept anonymous.

Fair Trading conducted a pilot end of tenancy survey which ran from 2 December 2019 to 30 March 2020 and from 27 April to 11 May 2020.

To mitigate re-identification risks, postcode information has been removed and response dates grouped into months. It should be noted that the representativeness of the survey data is limited, including because: • participation is voluntary • the survey only includes respondents who used Rental Bonds Online to lodge and claim their rental bond, so the sample does not extend to all terminated tenancies • no demographic information is collected • some tenancies had duplicate responses • domestic violence victims may also self-select out of completing such a survey, given their vulnerability and the difficult circumstances they may experience after ending a tenancy.

The English Housing Survey (EHS) is a continuous national survey commissioned by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) that collects information about people's housing circumstances and the condition and energy efficiency of housing in England. The EHS brings together two previous survey series into a single fieldwork operation: the English House Condition Survey (EHCS) (available from the UK Data Archive under GN 33158) and the Survey of English Housing (SEH) (available under GN 33277). The EHS covers all housing tenures and provides valuable information and evidence to inform the development and monitoring of the department's housing policies. Results from the survey are also used by a wide range of other users including other government departments, local authorities, housing associations, landlords, academics, construction industry professionals, consultants, and the general public.

The EHS has a complex multi-stage methodology consisting of two main elements; an initial interview survey of around 14,000 households and a follow-up physical inspection. Some further elements are also periodically included in or derived from the EHS: for 2008 and 2009, a desk-based market valuation was conducted of a sub-sample of 8,000 dwellings (including vacant ones), but this was not carried out from 2010 onwards. A periodic follow-up survey of private landlords and agents (the Private Landlords Survey (PLS)) is conducted using information from the EHS interview survey. Fuel Poverty datasets are also available from 2003, created by the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC).

The EHS interview survey sample formed part of the Integrated Household Survey (IHS) (available from the Archive under GN 33420) from April 2008 to April 2011. During this period the core questions from the IHS formed part of the EHS questionnaire.

End User Licence and Special Licence Versions:
From 2014 data onwards, the End User Licence (EUL) versions of the EHS only include derived variables. In addition the number of variables on the EUL datasets from that date has been reduced and disclosure control increased on certain remaining variables. The new Special Licence versions of the EHS, which are subject to more restrictive access conditions, are of a similar nature to EHS EUL datasets prior to 2014 and include both derived and raw datasets.

Further information about the EHS and the latest news, reports and tables can be found on the GOV.UK English Housing Survey web pages.

The English Housing Survey, 2017: Housing Stock Data: Special Licence Access is available for all cases where a physical survey has been completed. For occupied cases the data comprises information from the household interview and from the physical survey. For vacant properties only, data from the physical survey are provided. The Special Licence version includes raw interview and physical datasets and derived data, whereas the EUL version (SN 8494) only includes derived variables. Users are advised to obtain SN 8494 to see whether it is suitable for their needs before making an application for the Special Licence version.

The data are made available for a two-year rolling sample i.e. approximately 12,000 cases together with the appropriate two-year weights. For example, the EHS Housing Stock results presented here are for 2017, but cover the period April 2016 to March 2018. This means that if you use more than one housing stock dataset, you must use either odd or even years. For example, you need to use the Housing Stock Dataset for '2012' and '2014' or '2013' and '2015', but not the dataset for '2014' and '2013' as you would double-count the cases surveyed between April 2013 and March 2014. The Housing Stock dataset should be used for any analysis requiring information relating to the physical characteristics and energy efficiency of the housing stock. Derived datasets provide key analytical variables compiled post-fieldwork including energy efficiency ratings, decent home indicators and equivalised income.

Users who only require data from the household interview should use the English Housing Survey, 2017-2018: Household Data EUL or Special Licence versions (SNs 8495 and 8545 respectively).

The Tenure, Ownership, and Transition of Agricultural Land (TOTAL) Survey is a comprehensive dataset created by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) and Economic Research Service (ERS). It focuses on agricultural land rental dynamics, capturing data on land owned and operated by farmers, as well as land rented from non-operator landlords. The dataset includes detailed information on landlord and tenant characteristics, rental agreements, land values, income, expenses, debt, assets, and plans for land transition or inheritance. The primary purpose of the TOTAL Survey is to analyze trends in farmland ownership, rental markets, and intergenerational land transfers, supporting policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders in addressing challenges like land access, sustainability, and rural economic development. Key features include its granular breakdown of operator vs. non-operator landlordships, insights into tenant-landlord relationships, and longitudinal data for tracking changes over time. The 2014 survey remains a foundational resource, with updates like the 2024 iteration expanding coverage. Its unique focus on non-operator landlords—a group often overlooked in agricultural surveys—sets it apart as a critical tool for understanding the evolving U.S. agricultural landscape.

More than two thirds of social renters in the United Kingdom (UK) said during a representative survey conducted in 2019 that they have confidence in their landlord. In comparison, the share of respondents who do not trust their landlord was 24 percent.
