The average asking rent for properties both inside and outside of London have hit a new record high, according to a property website.
Data from Rightmove shows tenants outside of London are being asked to pay an average £1,231 per month, with properties inside London reaching a record of £2,567.
For the second quarter of 2023, rent outside the capital has increased by £308 (33%) from the same period in 2019, where the average price per month was £923.
Similarly, London asking rents have increased by £559 (28%) in four years.
The asking rent of a property is the price listed by the landlord.
"Average asking rents for new tenants have risen at a rapid pace since the pandemic, reflecting the significant increase in demand," Rightmove's director of property science Tim Bannister said.
He said demand is being driven by a change in housing needs, such as space to work from home.
In addition to rent increases, the average time it takes to find a tenant is 17 days, the quickest time recorded in Rightmove data since November 2022.
There are also less rental properties on the market, as landlords sell up.

Around 16% of properties currently for sale were previously available on the rental market, up from 13% in January 2019, Rightmove said.
"Some highly leveraged landlords are considering selling due to interest rate rises, but we find most are mortgage-free, and in most cases our advice is to avoid a knee-jerk reaction," Allison Thompson, national lettings managing director of Leaders Romans Group said.
