Brilliant, that's really helpful. Thank you for that. I just wonder if any of you have a view on rent regulation, and if so, what model would you support?

Diolch, Cadeirydd.

Private rented sector: Evidence session 2
Diolch, Cadeirydd. You suggested a statutory scores-on-the-doors rating scheme for letting agents. Perhaps you could tell us a little bit about how you'd see this working in practice.

Private rented sector: Evidence session 2
Brilliant. That's really helpful. Thank you for that. We've heard a call for local authorities to have greater powers to permanently exclude persistently non-compliant landlords from the market. Do you think the law needs to be strengthened when it comes to…

Thank you. And according to Welsh Government data, the number of local authority inspections under the housing health and safety rating system was 23 per cent lower in 2021-22 than it was in 2018-19. To what extent do you think this is due to a lack of…

Private rented sector: Evidence session 2
Brilliant, thank you. And I think the point you made around damp and mould is a really clear point, and I think it's really important that you've got that feedback as well. And just around some of the other issues that people are facing, we've heard that…

Diolch, Chair. Do you have a view about what would be the best way to balance out regulation and supply?
29 February 2024 , Local Government and Housing Committee
Private rented sector: Evidence session 1
Just on that point, and I don't know if there's anything you'd like to expand on on that, or if anybody else on the panel would, about those arguments for and against the regulation of rents and do you have a view on what the Welsh Government should do.

Private rented sector: Evidence session 1
Yes. I think we've heard that it—. Yes, go on.

Private rented sector: Evidence session 1
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Good morning, everybody. I'm going to come on to a topic that we have touched on in a number of questions, really, already, around regulation. Again, as I say, you've mentioned it a little bit this morning, but how coherent is the current…
