Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government

The commencement of section 53 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2014 is not currently planned in 2020. The potential for future commencement of the section is being considered in the context of the differential rent regime review proposal included in the Programme for Government.
