Yes, it is. For me, it is essential that the RTB be appropriately resourced to ensure it can address situations in terms of providing information to tenants and landlords, address situations where there are challenges and collect data. ICT, for example, is going to be crucial. There are also the aspects of addressing disputes and ensuring appropriate registration. We have seen a much stronger approach from the CEO, Rosemary Steen, in recent times towards landlords in terms of ensuring they are registered and providing the appropriate services. This is what it is about. We have to ensure that all tenancies are, in fact, registered so tenants are protected. I expect an increase in requests for information and regulation as a result of the changes we are bringing across the country in March 2026. It is also necessary to ensure the RTB can continue with its work of research and enforcement, which is crucial.
