We are all very much aware of that, with respect to Mr. Layde. However, if they do not want to do that, and if they want to stay, they do not have security of tenure because how long they can stay in the house is based on the contract the landlord signs. If the landlord decides to terminate, as I understand it, that family will have to uproot, find another house or be provided with another house, and move from the community they are in to another estate, in the context of a small town, or to another part of a city. That is the biggest difficulty I see with this. I do not seem to be able to get an answer on that from Mr. Layde or when I have asked questions in other forums.
