ENHR Private Rented Markets Conference 2015

The 2015 ENHR (European Network for Housing Research) Private Rented Markets seminar on ‘Private Renting After The Crisis’ took place on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th March at the London School of Economics. A total of 33 people attended the conference, with 20 presentations given by participants from 12 countries. 

The purpose of this working group is to provide opportunities to present papers on private rented housing markets and to give an opportunity for the discussion of associated themes – for example, housing finance, housing and minority ethnic groups, legal aspects of housing land and planning. 

The working group holds an annual conference in the spring followed by workshop sessions at the ENHR main conference in June/July.
