Remember last year the government floated the idea of a rent a room type relief for landlords.
The first 14K of rent per property was to be tax free but if they charged anything over this then they would have to pay tax on the whole amount.
Surely something like this on a regional basis would work well. 14k in Dublin and then decreasing amounts in other places based on demand or current prices.
Would bring down rent over night.
I am a serial complainant about this/the former Government when it comes to housing, I did not think it would be possible for them to shock me. However, even I could not have imagined that the two leading stories on housing from the new Government in the couple weeks since they formed would be admitting that they built 25% less homes than claimed just before the election, and then musing about abolishing rental protections for tenants. It is baffling.
Anyone else think it shouldn’t be OK to own massive amounts of properties essentially making a money machine to extort struggling families?
Imo should have an exponential tax on every additional property you or whatever fund you reprisent own,
people need to be able to buy property again ,
building more “affordable” housing and massive amounts of apartments built for rental should be illegal and will not fix our problems long term.
If there is building capacity left that isn’t building because investment incentives aren’t high enough, then that removes the argument against a State construction company that wouldn’t need the profit incentive.
If there is no building capacity left, then removing RPZs won’t help.
Rent pressures zones have not worked in upping supply. I’ve yet to see data where it works as intended. What it has done is create a 3 tier rental market.
Social housing tenants
New private tenants
Existing private tenants
Socialise the risk, privatise the profits as always. There won’t be any energy credits or cost of living support in the next budget, but good to know their developer friends are being looked after.
It’s been 3 months, and all I’ve heard from this government so far is we need more ministers getting paid more money, we need to spend more on defense and now, we need to look after landlords and make it a more favourable environment for private investment.
Blindingly obvious this government (and to be fair, the PfG made this clear also) do not give the slightest fuck about the regular person trying to get by.
It appears RPZs are being scapegoated for the failure of the government’s housing policy
***”Renters group worried about rent pressure zone examination”***
Again and again this comment is thrown about
“Rent pressure zones were supposed to protect tenants, but in fact it’s driven landlords out of the system”
There is figures showing that this is not true, LL are not leaving the market on mass.
