Recent Trends in the Private Rental Sector: Residential Tenancies Board
Mr. Tom Dunne:
It is worth making the observation that construction cost inflation happens for different reasons and in a different way than inflation in the rental market. Inflation in the rental market will reflect supply and demand issues in that market. It will be different in different markets in different parts of the country. Construction cost inflation is not as spatially divergent. They are measuring two different things.
