    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair. I beg to move- THAT, Clause 65 of the Bill be amended by deleting the words “Distress for Rent Act” appearing immediately after the word “The”. The reason we are doing this, and we are asking the House to agree with us, is to delete the proposed repealing of Distress for the Rent Act. During public participation, we found out the procedure of resolving conflicts between landlords and tenants… Both landlords and tenants came before the Committee, the Judiciary, the Attorney-General, the Ministry and the Department of Housing present. We went for a retreat and we found out that the Bill had a major gap in terms of procedure on how to resolve conflict between landlords and tenants. We also went through the law and found that the Distress for Rent Act has very good details, and all of them agreed this should be retained so that it can give them a clear way of resolving conflicts that arise between the landlord and the tenants. I want to ask the House to agree with us, otherwise it would be a chaotic industry."
