From my point of view, it is a double standard that local authority tenants do not have the same protections as private tenants. That is not fair.

I recall that, when the RTB was here last year, we discussed a figure of 100 inspections a year. Those are inspections that the RTB takes on itself without complaints coming in. How many were carried out in 2024? I felt there should have been a lot more inspections.
