Delivering a New Deal for Private Renters in Northern Ireland - Amendment 1
Leave out all after the second 'private renters' and insert:
‘including a considered system of third-generation rent controls, or a rent freeze followed by a phased rent reduction, a ban on no-fault evictions, legislation to make open-ended tenancies the norm for private tenants, creation of a statutory Housing Ombudsman and establishment of a Rental Board to enforce minimum fitness standards and rent controls, measures to boost the supply of affordable rental properties and social housing, in recognition that the supply of social housing has a direct impact on the security and affordability of homes in the private rented sector, and a review of minimum fitness standards and enforcement in the private rented sector.’
