Abstract

In contrast to rural settings many of the urban poor are tenants. The prevalence of renting in low-income areas challenges demand-responsive approaches. The long-term perspectives of tenants and landlords can be quite different to those of owners – the incentives of landlords and their tenants to invest in improved infrastructure are generally much weaker. Tenants or absentee landlords may also be less enthusiastic about engaging in community-led initiatives. This document reports on a roundtable discussion on this issue.
