The conciliation service should have delegated authority to order independent reports with regard to disrepair or income statements for rent arrears and make binding recommendations to both landlords and tenants.

The court should have powers in matters of anti-social behaviour, to agree acceptable behaviour contracts where appropriate . Where it is in the interest of both parties to end the tenancy, the conciliation service should have the power to recommend the court make an order to end a tenancy by consent.
