Tony Crook and Peter A. Kemp
Edited by the late Tony Crook, formerly University of Sheffield, UK and Peter A. Kemp, Oxford University, UK
'Tony Crook and Peter Kemp have delivered a very timely book on
Private Rental Housing before and after the global nancial crisis
(GFC). . . Private rental housing: comparative perspectives
provides an excellent over-view of context, characteristics and
challenges facing the PRS in eight countries. The book is a
must-read for policy-makers interested in lessons learned in
private rental housing, albeit the book highlights that
cross-national policy transfer is not straightforward. The book is
an interesting read for housing scholars who want to be inspired by
a well-organised volume of international comparative housing
research that pays considerable attention to the impact of context
on housing.'
--International Journal of Housing Policy'With this book, Crook and
Kemp provide a readable and well-organised introduction to private
rented housing systems in other countries. The contributors are all
well-known housing scholars (mostly economists), and provide a good
overview of the various policy frameworks that condition private
renting--including overall housing policy, rent and tenancy
regulation, and tax treatment. The careful reader will come away
with a better understanding of why simple policy transfer is not
straightforward, especially in an area as complex, culturally
meaningful and system-embedded as housing.'
--Kath Scanion, LSE Review of Books'This book provides an
up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the topic of private
renting, offering valuable insights into recent developments in
demand and supply from a comparative perspective.'
--Journal of Housing and the Built Environment
