Issues Facing the Residential Rental Sector: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Owen Keegan:

That happens all too frequently. It ends up as a dispute, not because there is a fundamental dispute, but because the tenant genuinely has difficulty accessing alternative accommodation and overstays in the property, so it has to be resolved through our dispute mechanism. Unfortunately, that does happen.
