    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Chairperson. Sen. Mugo’s amendment was deleting one of the clauses and substituting it. The substitution was to say that if a tenant who is vulnerable or belongs to a vulnerable household owing to the impact of the pandemic is unable to meet the obligations because of the pandemic, then they give notice. There is a requirement for proof of inability to meet the obligations and review the terms of agreement for the duration. Madam Temporary Chairperson, the biggest concern - we went on and on about it in the Committee - many Senators and other stakeholders said that any provision that touches on the aspect of contractual obligations on its own has the potential of creating uncertainty and anarchy. When the newspapers reported the first time about our Bill, of course, it was sensational, some people stopped paying rent. We felt it wiser to have all contractual obligations dealt with in Clause 28 and removed. The statement of Sen. Mugo who wrote The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
