Should a landlord have to give certain information to a tenant before a tenancy agreement is signed?

Possible options

• Educate applicant tenants to ask the right questions before they sign a tenancy agreement.
• Require a landlord to tell an applicant tenant certain things about the property, such as any intentions to sell it in the next 12 months or whether it contains asbestos.
• Consumer Protection to maintain, and make publicly available, a database of landlords who have been proven not to comply with the tenancy laws.
