I move: "That the Bill be taken in Private Members' time."

The amendment to the Residential Tenancies Act is very straightforward. It seeks to ensure that future rent reviews are linked to the consumer price index. This is an issue on which the last Government deliberated but, unfortunately, it chose not to address it. I appeal to the Minister responsible for housing to reconsider this matter as part of the action plan for housing. We have tabled the motion because we are seeking to introduce change through legislation.
