Fair enough. Does the RTB have data on accidental landlords? I know some people who have sold their apartments because it is the right time for them at their age to move forward and there is fear of what might be coming. During the noughties people bought investment properties. It was the thing. It is where people got their pensions. Everybody was doing it. Is there any correlation between the properties being sold and those properties getting into a position where people can let them go again and get their money back?
