Decades in Rent, Deserve Better | Barbados News

Description

Deputy Speaker Neil Rowe is demanding accountability from the National Housing Corporation, arguing that decades-long tenants deserve better maintenance — from leaky roofs to broken windows — while still paying rent and waiting to own their homes. He backed a bill to transfer ownership of over 200 state-built homes to long-term residents, calling their properties homes, not just buildings. Residents in Rosemont and Deacon’s Farm are frustrated, feeling the rent money isn’t going toward upkeep. In response, Housing Minister Christopher Gibbs pledged to launch a rapid response unit and a new online platform to streamline maintenance requests, vowing that everyone deserves to live with dignity.
