============================================================

Ivana Bacik (LAB), University of Dublin

I move amendment No. 15:
15. In page 8, between lines 2 and 3, to insert the following:
“Definition of landlord
8. Section 5 of the Act of 2004 is amended by the substitution of the following for the definition of ‘landlord’:
“ ‘landlord’ means—
(a) the person for the time being entitled to receive (otherwise than as an agent for another person) the rent paid in respect of a dwelling by the tenant thereof and, where the context so admits, includes a person who has ceased to be so entitled by reason of the termination of the tenancy,
(b) where legal proceedings in respect of a dwelling have commenced, any person having the benefit of a charge or lien in respect of that dwelling, and
(c) any person appointed to be a receiver of the income in respect of a dwelling, or to exercise any powers delegated by the mortgagee or other person to the receiver.".".
