First line of the article contradicts the headline.
>Minister for Housing James Browne has received an “options paper” from the Housing Agency which suggests landlords should be allowed to increase rent by more than 2% when rent pressure zones run out at the end of this year.

Oh fuck off. They should be clamping down on rents, actively forcing them down; but nah, let’s rob from the poor to give to the rich a bit more.
If they bring this in it is going to make many tenants homeless as they wont be able to afford the new rents. I know one person paying €1300 a month for a small 40sqm 1 bed apartment but they reckon the landlord could get €2000 a month for it at this stage. Without the RPZ they could not afford to live there and if its removed there isnt exactly a glut of rentals about.
What the fuck is that headline? Do RTE just get the government to directly write headlines for them these days?
The amount of people that could be made homeless by not being able to afford rents is staggering.
Just short of waiting for a FF/FG minister to say “let them eat cake” because that didn’t end well.
As a renter this scares me. The place I’m at is literally falling apart, never text the landlord as to not ruffle feathers. I know my landlord owns multiple properties and probably doesn’t have half of them registered. Very scary times
What’s the difference between the second and third options here (scrapping RPZs or allowing landlords to increase the rent by more than 2% – the RPZ rules)? Is the third one that they would set a new specific figure or something – like the old 4%?
Why? Genuinely how much more do they need. They have an asset that is appreciating year on year. If the price of bread started off at 2 euro and in 5 years it was 15 euro would it be allowed to happen? Wages for the average person just do not rise the level that landlords would like to charge to rent, and nor do mortgages. Pre 1950s/60s at least.. people could stay in the same private place for their entire lives renting it an affordable amount.
3rd option, above 2% ‘if they wish to do so’……..we’re fucked
