Almost one in four private renters have felt physically ill or sick because of housing problems or worries in the last year, according to Shelter.
The new study, carried out by YouGov for the homelessness charity, shows the dramatic impact that housing worries like affording the rent, poor conditions and the threat of eviction are having on people’s physical and mental health.
In fact, 45 per cent fo private renters some 3.8 million adults in England, have experienced stress and anxiety as a direct result of their housing concerns, with nearly one in three saying this has kept them awake at night. A similar number of renters said their housing situation had left them feeling hopeless.
Andrea Deakin, Shelter emergency helpline manager, said: “This time of year can be especially stressful and difficult for families who are struggling to cope with big rent bills, or things like cold and mouldy homes during the winter months. Every day at Shelter we see the toll that expensive, unstable or poor-quality private renting can take on people’s lives and their health. We know how easy it can be to lose hope and feel overwhelmed by these worries, but our message is that you do not have to face them alone.
“People all over the country will be experiencing the same housing heartache, and there’s no shame in asking for help. Shelter’s services are open 365 days a year, and with the continued support of the public we will do all we can to be there for everyone who needs us.”
