Details

The 2018 English Private Landlord Survey (EPLS) is a national survey of landlords and letting agents who own and/or manage privately rented properties in England.

The EPLS asked landlords and agents a series of questions about activities they undertook with respect to their most recent letting, along with awareness about recent or upcoming legislative changes. These questions are the basis for the analysis in this report.

The first chapter provides a brief summary of the legal requirements and good practice indicators. The second chapter summarises the landlord clusters and provides an overview of landlord profiles.
