Mr. Bob Jordan:

The two things are, first, to give people more money under the rent supplement scheme across the board but in a different way, based on local submarkets, so it is not obvious to landlords. Second, to give people indefinite security of tenure and the right to remain in their home beyond the sale of the property.

In terms of landlords being brought to court, I am not aware of the illegal eviction numbers as it is the Private Residential Tenancies Board that deals with the issue. From our own figures for last year, over 20% of the clients who came to Threshold had a problem in regard to their security. Overall, over 1,500 people came to Threshold last year in regard to tenancy terminations, which could have included illegal evictions, so it is a very substantial number.
