The Department has published two guidance documents relating to the fit and proper person test.

My Department continues to work closely with the four national residents’ associations to address their members’ concerns about rights and responsibilities in the sector.

We remain committed to improving the sector further and will introduce primary legislation when parliamentary time allows, to prevent the use of complex company structures, clarify the definition of a pitch fee and prevent the use of variable service charges in written agreements.
