Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Private Rental Sector: Discussion
Thomas Gould (Cork North Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
What can the Government do to support landlords? We do not want landlords to exit the market. We know that 92% of those landlords in Cork who have properties are failing. Rather than landlords pulling out, what can the Government, Cork City Council or any other local authority do to help them to get these properties up to specification and keep them in the market? We do not want to see landlords leave because that leads to notices to quit, which leads to homelessness, which adds to the pressure. What can we do to be constructive?
