English: Picking up on the useful comments from David Melding, I think that there are clearly some people who have failed to register, because you've said that there were more than 55,000 registered as of 9 o'clock last night, plus 12,700 who've started the process. So, that's some 68,000. I just wondered if you've got any idea of the numbers who might be involved who simply have ignored the call. I recall, when we took the housing Bill through committee, the idea was that there was something between 70,000 and 130,000 landlords - so, some indication of what you think the shortfall is. Picking up on the point of David Melding, I think it's appropriate to have a different attitude towards the proverbial little old lady who has one property, who may not have realised about the new housing Act, but we need to take a completely different attitude towards the professional landlords who've simply ignored this. I'm dealing with one at the moment who is endeavouring to convert a property in a way that is completely outwith the building regulations, and I have to commend the building regulations officers and the environmental health officers for the work they've done on this property, and their refusal to issue a building regs completion certificate until all the work has been done to a satisfactory standard. This is precisely the sort of landlord who - we need to ensure that we have an appropriate person who is registered so that the tenants can chase the landlord to carry out the defective works. So, I absolutely commend you on this Act, and as somebody who has probably one of the largest number of private sector homes rented out of any constituency, I appreciate that this is a really, really important Act. A further detail I just wanted to ask you about - the possible financial incentives we might want to give at the end of the five-year term of the licence to anybody who's prepared to carry out that licence. The early birds might get some sort of minor financial incentive to get them to engage. I think it's really quite extraordinary, the work that Rent Smart Wales has done to get this number of people registered in such a short time, because so many landlords have left it to the last minute. By 13 November, they only had 46,300 registered, so the fact they've made it to 55,000 as of last night is really to commend the work that has been done by Rent Smart Wales. I'm sure that they will be able to count on the collaboration with Cardiff council to ensure that we chase those who are not taking their responsibilities seriously.
Welsh: Gan nodi'r sylwadau defnyddiol gan David Melding, rwy'n meddwl yn amlwg fod rhai pobl sydd wedi methu â chofrestru, oherwydd eich bod wedi dweud bod mwy na 55,000 wedi cofrestru erbyn 9 o'r gloch neithiwr, yn ogystal â 12,700 sydd wedi dechrau ar y broses. Felly, dyna ryw 68,000. Roeddwn yn meddwl tybed a oes gennych unrhyw syniad o'r niferoedd a allai fod yn gysylltiedig sydd yn syml wedi anwybyddu'r alwad. Cofiaf, pan aethom â'r Bil tai drwy'r pwyllgor, y syniad oedd bod rhywbeth rhwng 70,000 a 130,000 o landlordiaid - felly, rhyw syniad o'r hyn yr ydych yn credu yw'r diffyg. Gan nodi pwynt David Melding, rwy'n credu ei bod yn briodol cael agwedd wahanol tuag at yr hen wraig fach ddiarhebol sydd ag un eiddo, nad yw efallai wedi sylweddoli am y Ddeddf tai newydd, ond mae angen i ni gymryd agwedd hollol wahanol tuag at landlordiaid proffesiynol sydd wedi anwybyddu hyn yn syml. Rwy'n ymdrin ag un ar hyn o bryd sydd yn ymdrechu i addasu eiddo mewn ffordd sy'n gwbl y tu allan i'r rheoliadau adeiladu, ac mae'n rhaid i mi ganmol y swyddogion rheoliadau adeiladu a swyddogion iechyd yr amgylchedd am y gwaith y maent wedi ei wneud ar yr eiddo hwn, am wrthod rhoi tystysgrif gwblhau rheoliadau adeiladu nes bydd y gwaith i gyd wedi cael ei wneud i safon foddhaol. Dyma'r union fath o landlord sydd - mae angen i ni sicrhau bod gennym berson priodol sydd wedi ei gofrestru fel y gall y tenantiaid fynd ar ôl y landlord i wneud y gwaith diffygiol. Felly, rwy'n eich cymeradwyo'n llwyr am y Ddeddf hon, ac fel rhywun sydd yn ôl pob tebyg ag un o'r niferoedd mwyaf o gartrefi yn y sector rhentu preifat o unrhyw etholaeth, rwy'n sylweddoli bod hon yn Ddeddf wirioneddol, wirioneddol bwysig. Mae manylyn pellach yr oeddwn am ofyn i chi amdano - y cymhellion ariannol posibl y gallem fod yn dymuno eu rhoi ar ddiwedd tymor pum mlynedd y drwydded i unrhyw un sy'n barod i gynnal y drwydded honno. Gallai'r rhai cynharaf gael rhyw fath o fân gymhelliant ariannol i'w cael i gymryd rhan. Rwy'n credu ei fod mewn gwirionedd yn eithaf anhygoel, y gwaith y mae Rhentu Doeth Cymru wedi ei wneud i gael y nifer hwn o bobl wedi cofrestru mewn amser mor fyr, oherwydd bod cymaint o landlordiaid wedi ei gadael tan y funud olaf. Erbyn 13 Tachwedd, dim ond 46,300 oedd wedi cofrestru, felly mae'r ffaith eu bod wedi cyrraedd 55,000 erbyn neithiwr yn wir yn glod i'r gwaith sydd wedi ei wneud gan Rentu Doeth Cymru. Rwy'n siŵr y byddant yn gallu dibynnu ar gydweithrediad cyngor Caerdydd i sicrhau ein bod yn mynd ar drywydd y rhai nad ydynt yn cymryd eu cyfrifoldebau o ddifrif.
