I apologise for cutting across Ms O'Reilly. In 2014 and 2015, the first driver of family homelessness was not vacant possession evictions but was the inability to pay rising rents. This led to the creation of the RPZs. Is Ms O'Reilly fearful that we could be in a similar situation where vacant possession notices to quit will be replaced by people being unable to pay rents going into new tenancies or at the end of the reset?
