\"Homelessness<\/a>

Homelessness is a real threat for young families in the UK <\/p><\/div>\n

An extra 1.5 million 18 to 30-year-olds are expected to apply for private rented sector (PRS) properties over the next eight years.<\/p>\n

The influential Joseph Rowntree Foundation says that one risk is that pressures on private rental accommodation could force young families out of the sector and into homelessness. The foundation forecasts that around 310,000 more young families will be looking for private rented housing in 2020 compared with today.<\/p>\n

In a new report, \u2018Housing options and solutions for young people in 2020\u2019, it warns that the influx of youngsters chasing a private rental home will see young families, poorer and vulnerable people finding it hardest to compete for tenancies.<\/p>\n

As previously reported by Legal 4 Landlords News<\/a> on Friday 15th June 2012, an additional 500,000 young people will be forced to stay with their parents into their thirties, taking the total number of young people still at home to 3.7 Million by 2020.<\/p>\n

The report is just the latest in a series of similar documents warning of the growing pressures on the private rented sector as increasing numbers of people are locked out of residential property ownership.<\/p>\n

It warns of a three-tier race to find rented accommodation, with those at the top who can afford to pay rents, a \u2018squeezed middle\u2019 group who struggle to pay, and a bottom rung of 400,000 who risk being excluded completely.<\/p>\n

However, there is hope for the lower tiers as leading landlord services provider Legal 4 Landlords can offer Rent Guarantee Insurance<\/a> to landlords and tenants providing that the applicants pass the L4L Tenant Referencing<\/a> criteria.<\/p>\n

Kathleen Kelly, programme manager at the Foundation, said: \u201cOur badly functioning housing system will see those on the lowest incomes really struggling to compete in the competitive rental market of 2020. Renting is likely to be the only game in town and young people are facing fierce competition to secure a home in what is an already diminished supply of housing. With 400,000 vulnerable young people, including families, on the bottom rung of a three-tier private renting system, we need to avoid turning a housing crisis into a homelessness disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Foundation wants to see more homes built, longer tenancies at affordable rents \u2013 with the incentive of tax breaks for landlords \u2013 and the expansion of local letting agencies to find suitable homes for vulnerable young people.<\/p>\n

David Clapham, lead author of the report, added: \u201cWith 1.5 million more young people no longer able to become home owners by 2020, it\u2019s vital we take the opportunity to make renting work better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
