Issues Facing the Residential Rental Sector: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Louise Loughlin:

What we were able to identify from that data was the seven counties with the highest levels of non-compliance, which we spoke about earlier. We have been targeting those counties with the local authorities and we have undertaken communication campaigns through local media, including local radio, to drive compliance. We identified a number of tenancies in the ESRI individual property-level analysis that my colleague Mr. Gallwey spoke about earlier as well. We followed up with those. This included spot-checking 1,000 landlords. We are still following up on all of that activity. There will be more updates later in the year. The property-level analysis has helped to drive quite a lot of activity in the compliance space. We will probably keep pursuing that.
