Project update

25 August 2023: The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has published an update report following its 3 month period of engagement. The report summarises the feedback we received from a wide variety of stakeholders and identifies the areas where we intend to focus in the next stage of our work.

The CMA has also published an update on the CMAs work in the housing sector.

Project information

28 February 2023: During its leasehold investigation, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has come across a number of challenges faced by landlords and their tenants within the private rented sector.

We want to develop further our understanding of the issues in the rented housing market, which includes a wide range of rented accommodation as well as the private rented sector, to see if these challenges reflect current positions across the UK market.

Over the 3 month period of this project, we will be reaching out to stakeholders in Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland and England to identify the key consumer protection issues for landlords and their tenants.

This project is separate to the CMAs market study into Housebuilding.
