Text

Those who live in apartments, especially but not exclusively, often encounter a convoluted management structure that leaves them feeling powerless. Minister, you previously said that a registration scheme for management agents could be progressed during the mandate. You outlined some of the progress that has been made. There has been a bit, but it has not been as much or as fast as we would have liked. What comfort can you give residents trapped in that situation?
