The investigation that has currently happened has been completed and the tenant provided records of bookings and bank records. The outcome is that back rent was charged on the extra income he received. It was a breach of his tenancy and he is on a final warning.</text>
        <text id="20150513425b9c12fff84bf080000457">Given the situation, and reflecting on what has happened in the past, I did talk to the department about updating and contemporising their policy in regard to tenancy agreements, policies, procedures and public documents. Obviously, we have seen quite a growth in online businesses and what we have changed is the home visit guidelines and business investigation. I think with increase in online businesses we certainly need to be stronger in making sure people are aware that they must inform the department if they are operating a business from their premises.</text>
