Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion
Ms Lucia Crimin:
What we can say and what we published in our annual report for 2022 is the number of tenancies that are registered. We have confidence now in that figure. As Mr. Byrne explained earlier, we now operate a system of annual registration, which is giving us high degrees of confidence in the currency and up-to-dateness of the register. It is very early to comment on annual registration. It is just a year and a half in place now, so the data set we have is still rather immature. We expect to see the quality and quantity of that data improving over the coming months and into the coming years. We will have greater insights in the fullness of time as to the behaviour of tenancies and landlords insofar as the tenancies turning over over the lifetime of the rented property.
