Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Private Rental Sector: Discussion
Mr. Patrick Davitt:
I will make a different point. Landlords feel they are subsidising rent for those tenants and there is no reason that, if a tenant leaves a property, they cannot charge market rent. It is ridiculous to see we cannot find out what market rent is. Of course we can. Any agent in the country can say what the market rent is in a particular area. All they have to do is check what rentals have been made.
