The Bill seeks only to address specific issues relating to the correction of words (Housing vs Human Settlements), the extension of the application of the Act to all provinces, enlarging Rental Tribunals and giving rescission rights to Rental Tribunals. The Portfolio Committee on Human Settlements (the Committee) has borne witness to irregularities in the rental sector during public hearings and oversight visits. The Committee is of the opinion that the Act should address the challenges the country faces in respect of the rental sector. Moreover, the Committee does not wish for the Act to be amended twice in a short period of time and is thus proposing further amendments to the Act, which will be incorporated into the Bill. These amendments would make the Act more accessible to all, but especially to poor and vulnerable tenants. The proposed amendments will not affect the tagging of the Bill.
