Ms Caren Gallagher:

The 2020 survey, which was published in 2021, had 74 landlords interviewed for that section of the survey. It was up to 100. We used our database to contact the landlords to take part in the survey. Sometimes, landlords do not inform the RTB that they are leaving so when they were contacted, some had exited the sector. We asked them then to divert into this additional piece of research and that is how that cohort came about.
