Rented accommodation is one of the first and foremost enablers of households’ access to the urban economy. The market of rental housing in India is a high-frequency transaction market. Where is the demand for rental housing coming from, and who actually supplies it, in which form? What forms of relationships do landlords and tenants share, especially in low-income households and settlements?

This masterclass on rental housing will attempt to unbundle these questions and highlight some of the advantages of and inequities in the rental housing market. While there is official data available on the state of the rental housing market, the masterclass will open discussions around them in order to better grasp the layers of meaning behind this data. The masterclass will also cover a range of Indian and international policies and programmes on housing and rental housing in particular – identifying key features and their impacts and outcomes. In focus will be India’s recent and current programmes on urban housing at the central government level, such as the Rajiv Awas Yojana, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Housing for All 2022), and other state government schemes.
