As I said in my earlier contribution, the MUDs Act is the responsibility of the Minister for Justice. While I accept the points the Deputy has raised, there are proposed updates to ensure that the annual service charges set by OMCs meet the cost of ongoing maintenance, around the provision of transparency in relation to the setting and payment of annual service charges and around assisting owner management companies to receive timely payment of annual service charges.

While our Department is the policy developer in this regard, the Housing Agency provides information and guidance relevant to residents and OMCs in dealing with their obligations and rights under the MUDs Act. Our Department is working extensively around the information and resources, including publications on guidance and answers to frequently-asked questions in this regard. They will continue to do that and update the Housing Agency's website on an ongoing basis in this regard.
