Extending the tenant in situfacility for social housing tenants is the objective of this legislation so the people who are not on a social housing list and are earning above the social housing income thresholds can avail of the rental property, providing it is being sold. That is a decision the landlord takes independently. At that stage essentially it becomes their permanent home. I listened to the property representatives and my heart goes out to the small landlords, whose pension it is and they want to realise their pension. Does Mr. Deverell feel that the people he represents will launch a legal challenge if this legislation goes ahead?
