Question

Further to his answer of 5th November 2013, which revealed that the Department recharged tenants £14,294.88 in 2012 for repairs to void properties above and beyond fair wear and tear, will the Minister inform members how many tenants faced these re-charges, what length of tenancy was involved, how much they were charged including the mean or median charge and what proportion of these end of let repair costs were thus recharged?

Answer

The  £14,294.88  recharged  in  2012  reflects  9  ending  tenancies  of  the  363  managed  by  the Department. This represents a proportion of only 2.5%.
