Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Residential Tenancies (Right to Purchase) Bill: Discussion
Mr. Patrick Davitt:
An agent might not be needed if the landlord is happy. Nobody can force an agent on them, but if a landlord gets an agent to sell their property they do so for one reason, which is to get the best price available. That is what the agent has to do by law; we have to get the best price for the property.
