But I mean, who's to say that they will or they won't?

And if not, and particularly with the, you know, the rental room scheme being applied to this, you can earn 14,000 a year tax free and then rent out.

On top of that, I mean, if nobody knows they're there, there's a huge potential, I think, for a kind of a black-marketed cash economy.

And we've seen this in other countries.

I've seen this in Eastern and Central Europe and even down in Spain.

I've seen this before, people putting up.

ostensibly temporary structures, but charging cash rent and never declaring it.

They are.

Of course, all that is more bureaucracy and red tape, so to say, with the very thing they said this was going to cut back.

And of course, the critical thing here is that the people who stay in these, you know, these modular rooms at the back of houses aren't actually going to be tenants.

So there's no requirement to register with the Residential Tenancies Board, for example.

And they can also turf you out with absolutely no notice.

So I think that's going to create a lot of problems as well.

The idea that, you know, the person who lives in the house
