Private renting tenure variable
80%
Description
Dear UKHLS team,
I am looking at people's housing tenure in wave 15 and, for private renters, I can only see the category 'rented private unfurnished' and 'rented from employer'. Why is there no category for furnished private renters?

hello,
As "rentf" was no longer asked from onwards Wave 12, the tenure_dv=6 now represents all privately rented (not just unfurnished) accommodation. We will update the variable notes for tenure_dv to clarify this issue, and we are also looking into producing two versions of tenure_dv - one that is consistent across all waves (where renting is not differentiated between furnished and unfurnished), and another that is only available for Waves 1-11 (where renting is differentiated between furnished and unfurnished).
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
