The government are some arseholes, it was so obvious this would happen

It turns out that when you’ve got a government of landlords and for landlords presiding over – and directly contributing to – the worst housing crisis in recent history in this country, you’re going to have historic levels of evictions.

I mean its not like the Government are ever not going to be voted back in power.
So why should they actually care?

There was a population of 6 million over all of ireland in 1850. About the same today. More houses maybe today than then. A lot less renters today than then. So the eviction rate is prop today alot higher more than comparable.

Shockingly, if you tell people who rent out a property or two that renting after March 1st devalues it by multiples of the annual rent, they might not be keen.
Nobody could have foreseen this.

This comparison is in fairly poor taste.
I know this country has serious problems with housing and the cost of living but the situation is hardly comparable to the 1850s where a huge chunk of the population were living on the brink of starvation and disease, having just survived a massive famine
The eviction rate might be similar but we hardly have thousands dying of cholera on the boreens so invoking that time period seems a bit disingenuous. I know they’re trying to make a point but dramatising things is hardly helping.

Even someone with half a brain cell knew this would happen. All to transfer more wealth to their buddies.

Any landlord leaving the rental market “to sell” shouldn’t be allowed to re-enter with the same property for at least 5 years

These are not accurate numbers to proclaim that landlords are selling up.
They are evicting tenants, giving the place a clean, painting it and then getting new people in at a much higher rent.
Were are the exact stats that these houses are actually being sold?
