The soaring rent prices is among the major concerns to Maltese residents, hence the release of White Paper was highly anticipated by social justice activists, NGOs and tenants alike. Isles of the Left met with three members of the Research and Policy team at the Parliamentary Secretariat for Social Accommodation: Rachael Scicluna, Joseph Bartolo and Kurt Xerri.

We discussed the overall purpose of the White Paper, the methodology of the research aimed to assess Malta’s rental market, which sectors of society were consulted and why, whether the shortage of housing supply is truly the major problem and whether the suggestions proposed by the team will succeed in making housing more affordable.
