QUESTION NO.9

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the Chief Executive to outline to the Council actions he is taking in respect of the vast amount of rent arrears owed to the Council and will he also confirm the length of time such arrears are in place.

REPLY:

Below is a table outlining the current rent arrears.  The rents section is working with all tenants to address arrears and are currently setting up Debt Management Plans to ensure tenants are able to sustain their tenancies and avoid legal action. Those that do not engage will have their cases progressed through the legal system.
