I consiglieri comunali di Dublino votano per approvare aumenti degli affitti per gli inquilini con un margine sottilissimo

Looks like I’m still commuting to work.

30-31 for enabling review and rent increases on council rentals. Very very on the line.

It doesn’t seem to be a blanket increase for all renting through the council, but could see folks with low rent agreements seeing large increases over time.

Bit of a bait title from the journal to catch the eye.

It will be interesting to see how they roll it out.

I’d be disappointed if anyone is getting a 50% increase in one go regardless of what their rent might be. That’s a shock to any ones system, has to have a measured approach to ensure the services can be funded at the very least.

They could go all on social housing, raise the threshold to €100k for a couple and get the social mix, even at 20% of income rents will be sustainable and allow more to be built..
