Abstract

What this research is about? This research looks at what shapes the investment behaviour of small-scale, residential landlords. It presents new evidence on rental investment behaviour and examines the potential impacts of policy changes on landlords’ costs of supplying rental housing, along with the effects on affordability for tenants. Why this research is important? Understanding what motivates landlords and their investment goals can help build a private rental sector that benefits more Australians. With the fast and ongoing growth of the private rental sector, this study makes a timely contribution to policy debates on the supply of rental housing by uncovering new evidence on patterns and drivers of rental property investment behaviour.
