More than 11 million people rent from a private landlord and many of them are at the sharp end of the housing crisis.

Truthfullness 4 / 5

Fact checked by: fullfact

Notes

11million is accurate.

“many of them are at the sharp end of the housing crisis” is a touch wooly.

Full Fact states that “29% of people renting from a private landlord, and not receiving housing benefit which covers the entirety of their rent, say that it is difficult to pay the rent“.

So maybe the claim is credible.

Do you agree this deserves 4 / 5 for truthfullness?
