Arolygiaeth Gofal Cymru: Craffu blynyddol
We can come on to some of those other issues in a little bit more detail, I'm sure, through this session. Following that, really, in the annual report, you say that readers 'will no doubt be struck by a sense of déjà vu'.

Diolch, Cadeirydd. And, just finally from me: are there any solutions that you think would help to increase the number of pet-friendly homes in the private rented sector in Wales?

Just finally, the housing expert panel suggests a statutory 'scores on the doors' rating scheme for letting agents, to help tenants and landlords make decisions when choosing an agent. Do you think this type of scheme would be beneficial?

Thank you. In your written evidence, you've included a number of suggestions of how to improve and develop Rent Smart Wales. Can you tell us what improvements you think should be a priority?

Diolch, Cadeirydd. Just a few questions around regulation, really. We heard from local authorities that they'd like some more power to permanently exclude persistently non-compliant landlords from the market. Do you have any thoughts on this, or do you have…

Thank you, Chair. Just on the enforcement mechanisms, how effective do you feel that they are in tackling non-compliance with legislation by landlords and agents?

Diolch, Cadeirydd. I just want to touch a bit on regulation. We have covered that a little bit this morning. I think Debbie mentioned in an earlier question some positive things for the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016. Perhaps you can just say a little bit…

Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 5
Yes. Thank you. Diolch, Cadeirydd. And I think Ben mentioned earlier that robust enforcement was needed. In your view, perhaps you can expand on how effective you feel the enforcement mechanisms for tackling non-compliance with legislation by landlords are.

And just finally from me, Becky mentioned earlier, I think, just about the numbers of older people that will be renting in the future, and perhaps some of those older people might never have owned their own home. Do you think that there are any additional…

Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Thank you, Chair. And, yes, that's really interesting. Some of this is around the adequate housing issue, really, isn't it, for trip hazards and other things that you see that would help anybody of any age, really, as well. Just going back, the social housing…

Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Diolch, Cadeirydd, and thank you for that. I think you've touched on how difficult some of this is, and I think it would be worth having those case studies that you have mentioned, because I think it would be really good to have them and we could take up. In…
