The legislation was well balanced in trying to give additional protections to tenants. In many instances, it has been effective in giving that protection. Much of the legislation we have passed has given protection. Some of the issues the Deputy identified in respect of the individual case are legally challengeable. We will examine that to see if any further actions can be taken to rebalance the legislation. If the legislation is being exploited in a way that is wrong, we will have to deal with that.
