Issues Facing the Residential Rental Sector: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Patrick Davitt:

It is a broken system from the point of view that it is very unfair that some landlords in the private market can get an "A" rent, while others get a "B" rent. That is very unfair. It is a broken system in that we cannot get more landlords into the market. We have many ideas that would get many more landlords into the market. We are delighted that, at last, the Minister is at least listening to what people on the ground have to say, which is very important.
