Motion TitleTackling Disrepair, Damp and Mould - Amendment 1

Motion Amendment TextLeave out all after ‘retaliatory eviction;’ and insert: ‘further expresses serious concern that single let temporary accommodation utilised by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive is not subject to routine, ongoing inspection beyond initial acquisition; notes that maintenance responsibility rests with private providers, with the Housing Executive acting as an intermediary where issues are reported; and calls on the Minister for Communities to urgently introduce legislation, similar to Awaab’s Law, to compel landlords to address damp, mould and disrepair within strict timeframes across both social and private rented sectors, and to place a clear statutory duty on the Housing Executive to regularly inspect and enforce minimum fitness standards across all temporary accommodation.’
