A recent survey has uncovered a grim reality for tenants in England: they are now spending an 'unaffordable' 36% of their income on rent.
This staggering figure is well above the widely accepted affordability threshold of 30% and highlights the severity of the UK's housing crisis.
The data underscores the immense financial pressure on millions of renters who are facing soaring rental prices and a lack of available properties.
The affordability crisis is particularly acute in major cities, where demand far outstrips supply.
The survey's findings are a stark reminder of the challenges facing a large segment of the UK population and put pressure on the government to act.
While the government has pledged to address the housing crisis, the latest data suggests that more needs to be done to increase housing supply and provide relief for struggling renters.
The situation also has wider economic implications, as the high cost of rent leaves less disposable income for other goods and services, potentially dampening consumer spending and economic growth.
