Ms Lucia Crimin:

To repeat, we had contacted 17,000 landlords at the end of 2023 where we had a little bit of a reason to believe they might have been non-compliant. When we ran the analysis again in April of this year - five or six months later - we could see the 17,000 number had reduced to 1,500.

There were 15,500, if my maths are correct, where either the tenancy was ended on the system or it was regularised and came into compliance with registration. There are now 1,500 cases we need to look at in careful detail to establish if, in fact, there is non-compliance there, and we put them through our process.
