I move amendment No. 56:

In page 25, subsection (4), between lines 4 and 5, to insert the following:

"(i) procedures for supporting tenants who fall into rent arrears designed to assist them in sustaining their tenancy.".

This amendment, if accepted, would ensure that when tenants fall into arrears there are procedures in place for resolving the situation before the arrears accumulate to the degree that the tenants are unable to pay them.
