The Department's English Housing Survey shows that 19% (4.3 million) of households lived in the private rented sector in England in 2014-15, the latest year for which data are available. Data back to 1997 are available on the DCLG website:

Estimates are not available for constituency or local authority district and the Department does not publish regional estimates.

There is no ’registration’ requirement or process, so these estimates relate to all private renters.
