Does the Minister take the view that the tax system has a role to play in recognising the value and importance of long-term tenancies? Does he believe it is good for our rental market to provide longer-term certainty to tenants? Would this help to get away from the current cycle whereby people are being served with a termination notice and have to try to find alternative accommodation in the market at a time of terrible crisis? Does the Minister believe we need a structural shift and that the taxation system has a role to play in that regard?
