Senator O'Reilly says it is clear that more resources are needed to ensure that rental accommodations meet the required standards:

She told Northern Sound; "People are paying exorbitant rents and deserve good quality housing. We need to appoint more inspectors to carry out thorough inspections and enforce regulations, guaranteeing that everyone has access to safe and adequate living conditions."
