Corporate landlords are the best landlords from what I hear. Mom and Pop jobs are hit and miss.

Someone’s great grandad died to put an end to this shit, but I suppose that’s what the civil war was about. Couldn’t let those filthy socialists be getting notions.

There never was a housing crisis. Ireland’s housing market is working as intended. All the things we blame on the government’s incompetence just happens to make all the right people profit massively.

So who exactly is supposed own the properties in the rental market?
Like there needs to be a rental market.

how is it even slightly controversial that the people who run your rental accommodation should be professionals and not Bob who needs to google what carbon monoxide is.

Sure they’re making huge returns in the Irish market because they’re paying F all tax, they’ll continue to hoover up Irish property as long as these tax breaks are available to them !

The government want rentals to be a them problem and not an us problem.
If landlords go, it will be a major problem for politicians as people will be harassing them more than is happening currently.

I hope this means we’ll stop basing our housing/rentals policy on protecting the investment of small time and “accidental” landlords and making sure they are never financially harmed.

Having rented from both corporate and private landlords. Both are going to greedy bastards but at least the corporate landlords actually know the law and tend to follow it.
The private ones will often treat it like it’s their own home instead of a rental asset and are more often than not complete cowboys with no regard for tenant rights.

I wonder what the maximum number of properties is that a landlord can manage effectively

We’re so concerned about who owns the houses in this country but it just isn’t an issue if we have more housing. Building is the only way to fix this

Wow people coming out of the woodworks to defend landlords. It’s a bit odd if you ask me.

This shouldn’t be allowed. The FFG government is selling the country out beneath our feet and it’s being rented back to us!

I know it would mean a much larger financial burden on those trying to enter the housing market, but I’d love to see the result of a stupidly straightforward ban on renting (entirely) and owning multiple residential properties, to see how much a house costs if you have to live in it
