520			_aPresents a policy review of the Private Rented Sector (PRS) in England where there is now political consensus on the value of a revived, viable PRS. Acknowledges that the PRS in England displays a number of problems for policymakers including relatively poor property conditions and sometimes low management standards. Discusses the competing views on regulation, PRS diversity, the relationship between regulation and supply, the anti-landlord culture and the industry's distrust of regulation. Concludes that all interested parties are in broad agreement that the PRS is performing below its potential in terms of quality and quantity, that a clear consensus on what further measures are needed to improve the PRS does not and probably never will exist, that the debate on how to resolve PRS problems has become static.
