Is the Minister confident this practice is no longer happening and there are no other instances of it? I would be grateful for an answer on that. An investigation by Killian Woods in the Business Post found evidence of institutional landlords and investment funds advertising and recording artificially high market rents that do not reflect the rents being charged. The practice of rent-fixing has serious implications for long-term leasing, which is based on discount off-market rents. Have the Minister and Department investigated the extent to which rent-fixing or artificial market rents could be influencing market rents agreed under long-term leasing?
