Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities for an update on the detail of the legislation she intends to bring forward to introduce a regulatory mechanism for letting agencies.

Answer:

As I outlined in my recent statement to the Assembly, I will bring forward legislation to the Assembly that will improve the safety, security and quality of the private rented sector.

In terms of letting agencies, as this issue cuts across the responsibilities of other Departments, officials are working with these stakeholders on the most appropriate method to introduce a regulatory framework.
