The Action Plan for Housing.

Holly Cairns is full of shit.

What renter is paying €30k a year in rent?

I'd be amazed if there were more than a handful of single renters paying €3k a month in rent. If they are, they are absolutely people who can afford it. More than likely living in the docklands of Dublin.

The majority of renters are living with other people and aren't paying that whole headline rent themselves.

I pay less than €600 a month in rent, for example.


"Holly Cairns told the Dáil that the market rate reset will lead to monthly rents for new tenancies soaring up to €2,500 and €3,000 all over the country.

"That is €30,000 or more every year in after-tax income that renters will be expected to pay," she said."

Seriously??

I pay much more than that,, and I'm in a council house..

My point is that I don't pay the full rent, I pay half the rent on my apartment. Our apartment is less than €1,200 a month in total.

Holly is trying to say that individuals on the open market are paying the full rent on a property themselves, rather than dividing it with a spouse or a housemate, as is mostly what happens

Does Benny pay the other half?

How long are you in your tenancy? I’m in mine 6 years and have similar rent to you. My rent has gone up once in 6 years.

If we moved out tomorrow the landlord would put it back on the market for €500/€600 more a month than what we are paying now.

Definitely not Mutton anyway given his purse strings history.

We are here since November 2020. We've never had an increase in rents, and any time there has been an issue with something in the apartment, the landlord has had it sorted ASAP.

If he put our rent up by €500 I'd have no problem paying it as the apartment and location are perfect for us. Don't tell him that

He can’t legally do that but that proves Cairns point.

People in existing tenancies have a level of security because of RPZs. New tenants will be charged totally exorbitant rents.

They don't have any security. If he decided to sell our place tomorrow we'd be fucked.

Rent price regulations and security of tenancy are not the same thing
