Abstract

Drawing on 114 online qualitative questionnaires with tenants and landlords in Romania, this briefing paper takes a look at the process of renting: reasons to rent; finding a property/tenant; housing quality and sense of home; rent affordability and eviction. Findings suggest that tenants have considerable market-power not least because financial checks on tenants are socially unacceptable, even ‘socially legitimate’ evictions are rare, in-tenancy rent increases are uncommon and tenants tend to feel at home in their rented properties. The methodology is presented in the related Briefing Paper Two (https://zenodo.org/records/7566158).
