Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion

Ms Lucia Crimin:
Exactly. Rather than looking at 17,000, our attention now is looking at those 1,500. That is a new process that has been designed and built since I was here previously. It is something we will refine. It is not the prettiest process in the world but it is effective. As Mr. Keegan mentioned, as part of our investment into future digital platforms in the RTB, this would be something that could be taken to the next stage. The RTB can achieve scale by means of this kind of bulk data review, which is very fast. In the past, the RTB was very reliant on manual and semi-automated processes. There was a major reliance on humans reviewing information. It is hard work and not very inspirational.
