The role of private landlords in making a rented house a home

Figures & data

Table 1. Inclusion criteria.

Aspect of review	Decision	Rationale
Time-period	Post-2000	The turn of the century is an inflection point in the PRS within the UK, marking a change from stability/shrinkage to substantial growth.
Geography	OECD	Housing markets and policies are substantially different between Global North and South. OECD membership provides a defined list which roughly approximates to definitions of the Global North. Whilst our focus is primarily on ‘lightly regulated’ markets, we wanted to include other Global North countries in case there was useful comparative evidence regarding differently regulated markets.
Language	English	Time and resources available.
Type of publication	Peer-reviewed articles only	Excluding material which has not been peer-reviewed for quality reasons, and also excluding books for reasons of time, resources and access during the pandemic.
