From October 2019, Office for National Statistics (ONS) are responsible for publishing official statistics on the private rental market. ONS aim to develop these statistics to allow users to have a better understanding of the private rental market.

Statistics published by the VOA prior to October 2019 can be accessed on the Private rental market statistics page.

Weve grouped our official statistics into 2 topics:

• non-domestic rating
• Council Tax
