This article sets out a theoretical framework for the political economy of the private rental sector, with a particular focus on the question of inequality. It brings together three existing bodies of research. First, macro-accounts of social stratification and wealth inequality. Second, Marxian critiques of the antagonism between accumulation and social reproduction. Third, qualitative accounts of tenants’ experiences of housing inequality. The article synthesises these three literatures to put forward a political economy approach which can capture the multi-dimensional and multi-scale nature of both ‘housing’ and ‘home’ in the private rental sector. In so doing, it contributes to recent research on ‘generation rent’, in particular the related class and generational inequalities, as well as wider debates on the political economy of housing.

The article provides an overview of the residential private rental market in Poland taking into consideration the context in which it operates. The aim is to present prospects for its long-term development and to compare the regulations regarding investment demand on the residential real estate market to those existing in the European Union and the United Kingdom. The analysis confirmed that the role of the private rental market in Poland may become more significant, especially in big cities. This may create issues related to the financialisation of the rental market. Still, from a short-term perspective, there are no premises to limit the investment demand. A long-term solution to the potential negative effects that may occur (decreasing affordability of ownership and rental market, gentrification) is to increase the efficiency of the housing system as a whole.

Home ownership status is closely linked to social inequality in Germany, where tenants face several disadvantages in multiple dimensions. Even though Germany is one of the biggest renter and therefore landlord nations, in the context of the housing question it is the demand side that has been discussed and studied most. Less attention has been given to the supply side, particularly individual small-scale landlords. This article is one of the first attempts to shed light on the largest provider group that literally holds the keys to homes in its hands. Drawing on quantitative data, this article examines the socioeconomic profiles of landlords compared to tenants over time, finding landlords in the upper strata and witnessing long-term wealth divides in relation to tenants. Coupled with structural power imbalances during tenancies, this research seeks to stimulate research on private renting in the future from a class perspective.
