The Real Estate Institute is calling on the Government to regulate the property management industry, more than a decade after it was deregulated. REINZ is citing unethical behaviour, including discrimination, inadequate  inspections, privacy breaches by property managers as among the problems within the industry.

The Property Managers Institute however, says the focus needs to be widened to include the property market managed by private landlords or the people they appoint.

To discuss this issue Kathryn is joined by the Real Estate Institute's CEO Bindi Norwell, Property Managers' Institute head David Pearse and Robert Whitaker from Renters United.
