The consultation process on rent law reform was formally kicked-off this morning when Social Policy Minister John Dalli briefed the Malta Council for Economic and Social Development.

A White Paper on the government’s reforms proposals was published on Saturday, and Mr Dalli said that many suggestions had already been received by his ministry.

He said that while many suggestions represented the interests of those who made them, the government would seek to balance the interests of tenants and landlords.

“We want to be as fair as possible in the context of what is possible and what the country can afford... Everyone has to bear in mind that anything given by the government has to come from the people’s taxes.”

The consultation process continues up to the end of August.
