在经历了多年的下滑之后，英国的私人租赁行业有所增加，但在房地产市场中仍然只占相对较小的一部分。自由市场租金和薄弱的保有权保障被英格兰的私人房东和政策制定者广泛视为商业上可行的私人租赁住房市场存在的基本先决条件。然而，在德国--它拥有非常大的私人租赁部门--自1971年以来一直实行“软”租金监管，租户拥有非常强大的租赁权保障，而在英国，这些条件会被视为不利于对该行业的投资。这篇论文的目的就是解决这个难题。它问道：在英国，自由市场租金和薄弱的租赁权保障被视为成功的私人租赁部门(PR)的关键因素，而在私人租赁部门规模非常大的德国，这两者都不存在。
After many years of decline, the private rental sector has increased in England, but remains a relatively small part of the housing market. Free market rents and weak security of tenure are widely regarded by private landlords and policymakers in England as essential preconditions for a commercially viable private rental housing market to exist. And yet in Germany - which has a very large private rented sector - 'soft' rent regulation has been in place since 1971 and tenants have very strong security of tenure, conditions that in England would be seen as inimical to investment in the sector. The aim of this paper is to address this puzzle. It asks: how is it that free market rents and weak security of tenure are perceived to be vital ingredients for a successful private rental sector (PRS) in England, when neither exists in Germany, which has a very large PRS?
