Issues Facing the Residential Rental Sector: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Mary Conway:
I will take the question on HAP. I know many landlords are nervous of it, because in some instances it can take four to five months to get paid. No landlord is in a position to wait to get paid for four to five months. The delays really seem to be that the HAP system is just squeezed too tight and this is a challenge for most landlords.
