Delivering a New Deal for Private Renters in Northern Ireland
That this Assembly expresses concern at the unaffordable rents, lack of long-term security and inadequate protections for tenants in Northern Ireland’s private rented sector; recognises that many private renters face a constant struggle to keep a roof over their heads, afford daily essentials, or access the basic repairs necessary to make their homes habitable and safe; and calls on the Minister for Communities to deliver a new deal for private renters, including a considered system of third-generation rent controls, a ban on no-fault evictions, legislation to make open-ended tenancies the norm for private tenants, creation of a statutory Housing Ombudsman, measures to boost the supply of affordable rental properties, and a review of minimum fitness standards and enforcement in the private rented sector.
