“…Another expectation concerns the extent of unregulated private rental tenure types, which is likely to drive housing deprivation at individual level. The extent of unregulated private rental tenure types is likely to be low in countries with high shares of home-ownership and social housing (Kemeny, Kersloot & Thalmann, 2005).…”

“…The term prevailing is here of utmost importance. A common characteristic among countries with a unified rental system is that rent regulation imposes nonprofit rent levels to the private sector (Kemeny, Kersloot & Thalmann, 2005) . The market principles in unified rental systems are therefore reduced and tenants living in countries dominated by a unitary rental system are commonly categorized as paying prevailing rents.…”

“…For example, Kemeny's (1995) division between unified and dual rental sector is based on developments in the longstanding industrialized democracies the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand as dual rental systems while Sweden, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands are held to belong the unified rental system. In later work, Kemeny also included Belgium, Finland, Iceland, Italy and Norway as belonging to the dual rental system (Kemeny, 2006;Kemeny, Kersloot & Thalmann, 2005).…”

“…11 and 179). In a later work, Kemeny et al further distinguish between the unitary rental market, and the integrated rental market, wherein competition between cost and profit rental has led to the cost-rental sector becoming strong enough to set norms for dwelling standards and create a form of 'tenure neutrality' (Kemeny et al, 2005). For Kemeny, the different 'structurings' of cost and profit rental forms in housing markets are strategic.…”

“…They issue is that there is competition with the commercial rental sector. Kemeny et al (2005) further elaborated on the concept of the unitary market and they conclude that social housing can play three different roles in the rental market: in influencing role (Switzerland), a leading role (Sweden) and a dominating role (Netherlands).…”

Housing policy in Belgium and Flanders is directed mainly towards encouraging home ownership. Social housing in Flanders covers a share of 5.6% of the housing stock. This social rental sector is characterized as a safety net by some housing researchers and as a general model by others. During the 1990s and the first half of this decade social housing in Flanders became under discussion. The image of social housing that dominated then was one of increasing problems with tenants and neighbourhoods. Raising the income limits to get a better social mix was advocated by the sector and afterwards by policy as one of the solutions for these problems, meanwhile also improving the revenues of the housing associations. The political discourse however was very little supported by scientific knowledge. This contribution aims at clarifying the position of the Flemish social housing by describing the historical and regulatory context and presenting the results of the Housing Survey 2005. It dispels the misunderstanding that Flemish social housing is a residual model and explores different future models. One of the conclusions is that solving problems of the social rental sector may not occur at the cost of those who need affordable housing most.
