I move amendment No. 31:

In page 25, between lines 28 and 29, to insert the following:

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

The purpose of this amendment is to put in place measures to support tenants who have fallen into arrears in respect of rent, to assist them in getting out of those arrears and as such to sustain their tenancy.

Amendment No. 32 seeks to ensure, in respect of a termination of residency, that all procedures put in place to support tenants have been exhausted and that termination would be enforced only after all other avenues have been explored.
