128. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if he has any plans to review the legislation outlined in Section 34 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 as regards sale of homes as grounds for termination of tenancies in view of the recent headlines that report over 1,800 renters were at risk of homelessness in the past three months (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

There are no proposals to bring further legislative proposals forward at the moment in relation to the operation of the rental market while it should be noted that the operation of the rental market and the Residential Tenancies Acts 2004-2022 are kept under constant review. In this regard, my Department has commenced work on an overall review of the private rented sector as committed to under Action 2.1 of the Housing for All Action Plan Update (November 2022), a copy of which can be accessed on my Department’s website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/publication/da0d1-action-plan-update-and-q3-2022-progress-report/.
