According to Generation Rent and the Renters’ Reform Coalition, many renters have just reached their “cost of rent day” — the point in the year when all income earned to date is effectively paid to landlords. Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) indicates that private renters with median household incomes spend about 36% of their earnings on renting an average-priced home.
