We have major concerns the with Government's proposal to exempt modular cabins in back gardens from planning for them to be put on the rental market and it looks like The Journal's readers do as well!
We recognise the urgent need to increase housing supply, but this measure carries significant risks.
This would mean even more licence arrangements, ie renters with little to no legal protections and no access to the RTB. For example, licence arrangements do not have to be registered with the RTB, have no protection from rent increases and minimum notice periods do not apply. This is an insecure renting situation.
We call on the Government to halt this proposal until a full review of license arrangements is completed and basic protections for occupants are put in place.
