Figures from the Residential Tenancies Board, RTB, show within the last ten months 3,810 rent arrears warning notices have been issued and 1,122 notices to quit. Given that the general ban on evictions ended on 22 April 2021, there is a genuine concern that many of these tenants could end up losing their homes and becoming homeless. I ask the Minister to outline what he is going to do to ensure that this very specific group of tenants is protected in order that we do not see a rise in homelessness, and particularly family homelessness, in the coming months.
