How Gen Z Is Reshaping the Rental Market

Share

Gen Z is now entering the rental market in meaningful numbers and they are changing its dynamics.

This cohort prioritises:

  • Location and connectivity
  • Digital-first interactions
  • Energy efficiency and sustainability
  • All-inclusive pricing clarity

Ownership is not an immediate aspiration for many. Flexibility, experience, and affordability matter more than permanence.

As a result, rental demand is shifting toward:
• Smaller, well-specified units
• Shared and co-living formats
• Professionally managed environments

Landlords relying on outdated layouts or analogue processes may struggle to attract this demographic.

At DXXV, we factor generational preferences into sourcing decisions; not to chase trends, but to future proof demand.
