I’m a landlord of a single property. I’m GLAD to be regulated, know I have it good, and think these whining profiteers can fuck off. Pisses me off to no end that they get an outsized voice because renters are busy working to pay their rent and don’t have time to incessantly moan to the government.

I look after a rental property for my father….one of these 1840’s Georgian building split on 3 levels.
All the house on the road are rental property except maybe 1. In that, the basement is rented.
It was rare to see house up for sale. In the last few months 6 houses have been put for sale.
There’s a lot of scare mongering going on.

I noticed a trend with these landlords.

“Warning they would evict tenants and sell up”.. ohh no, please don’t increase the supply of housing on the market, NOOOO.
I would like more legislation that reduces the profitability of HOLDING residential property as an investment, thank you.

“Depreciating asset” yeah I am not going to have any sympathy for anyone considering housing as an investment. Especially not during a housing crisis.

It is good to see the government trying to tackle investment property rental, but what about foreign investment funds who own entire blocks or estates? Are these vultures being challenged?

The irony here is that if these landlords have tenancies already existing before March 1st, they are not effected by the new rules. New rules only apply to tenancies created after March 1st.

Look the up shot is anyone who had decent rent has now lost it and been fucked out into the market. My rent has doubled from 1000 to 2000 euro in rural Kildare. I can’t afford that, and I’ll be going into energy arrears to pay my rent. We are a family of five. How the hell do you save for a deposit with all this shit going on. Why have people not attended housing protests in large numbers ? I don’t understand it. Hard working people are being extorted

Any mention of a letter from Michael Healy-Rae?
