Sample rental agreement

Could you move into the house and avail of the Rent a Room scheme?

No tax for income under €14,000 and it will be easier to get a vacant house when your family member wants to move in.

Thank you for that suggestion, I had never even thought of that option. Definitely one to think seriously about. Then my current house would have to be registered with the Council as NPPR -Non Prinfipal residence. Im sure the council would see that I'd be paying 2 property taxes then .
Do all rented properties have also to be declared as non primary residences -another expense.

I think the NPPR was abolished in 2014. You just pay the LPT (Local Property Tax) as normal.

Thank you, yes I should have checked myself before I asked the question, replaced by property tax . Thank you .
