dc.description.abstractPrevious research has explored and conceptualised private renting as a unitary sector, thus obscuring deeper understanding of the experiences of discrete groups in the private rental market. We draw on a large-scale Australian survey dataset to estimate two inter-linked econometric models—a hedonic and a logit—that let us analyse rental conditions, rent paid and intended mobility. We find evidence of a specific group of renters who are in a more marginalised position than other cohorts. We argue that that price (rent) paid is a function of tenant choice, in addition to physical and neighbourhood attributes. Meanwhile, tenants’ propensities to move home are a function of satisfaction with physical, neighbourhood, landlord behavioural factors, as well as rent paid. Our empirical evidence supports the idea that marginalised renters face poor physical dwelling and neighbourhood conditions, higher levels of rent and higher levels of intended mobility.
