Private Rented Sector in Northern Ireland - Proposals for ChangeThe aim of the review is to consider the current and potential future role of the sector and assess the effectiveness of current regulation, identifying where improvements can be made to help make the private rented sector a more attractive housing option. Whatever is introduced, it is important to get the balance right, protecting tenants while ensuring good landlords aren’t burdened with unnecessary or cumbersome regulation.
