Centre for Studies of Home Annual Lecture 2025
'Living for Rent' is a conversation about a range of issues relating to rental domesticity today between award-winning housing journalist and author of best-selling Tenants, Vicky Spratt, and the academic and co-director of Rent Cultures Network, Dr Matthew Ingleby (Queen Mary University of London).
The rented home is at the forefront of political, economic and legal debate. Runaway rental inflation is one of the more obviously unsustainable features of the current economy, while its human fallout in preventable child deaths due to landlordly negligence is becoming increasingly hard to ignore. Significant changes to the legal frameworks surrounding rental homes are underway while more radical responses to improving the quality of rental domesticity, such as rent control or mass housing re-socialisation, have become more mainstream within policy thinktank discourse than they were a decade ago.
