The Government has proposed some very significant changes to the Residential Tenancies Act in terms of security of tenure, definitions of landlords and the rent pressure zones. To what extent has the RTB been consulted on the detail of those? Regardless of one's view of those changes, they are quite complex, particularly the different definitions of landlords and the different security of tenure provisions. Regarding enforcement, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Keegan said the RTB received an increase in resources, is he satisfied that the RTB will have sufficient resources to deal with what, ultimately, will be an even more complex regulatory landscape post that legislation? We assume it will be passed in the autumn and will be in place from March 2026.
