Many renters will be Home Alone this Christmas


Todays other news


A survey suggests that a third of UK tenants who plan to spend Christmas in their rental property will be alone. 

A survey of 1,220 UK tenants who celebrate Christmas found that 40 per cent live on their own in their rental property, while 55 per cent live with a significant other or family, with four per cent living with housemates and one per cent living directly with their landlord.

Some 75 per cent of those surveyed stated that they will be spending Christmas in their rental property this year. 

Of those, 67 per cent will be spending the festive period with those they shared their rental property with: the rest will be alone.

Of the one third alone, some 34 per cent say they prefer it hat way. However, around one in 10 also stated that it made them feel lonely, depressed and sad. 

The survey was commissioned by Zero Deposit.
