I speak to a lot of landlords who keep rents below market rates or don't increase it just to keep a good tenant. If large companies become landlords, all renters will find automatic increases each year up to the limit.Isn't this already the case since landlords can no longer reset the rent to market rates after the tenants leave?
the criteria to increase rent more than the old 4% method was crazy. You have to add living space by way of an extension, improve the BER rating by 7, so go from a C3 rating to an A2 rating, or else permantly alter the layout of the house. I think from recall you need to do two of the three.I think landlords can increase to market rates if they refurbish the property or do significant works on the property between lettings.
the new inflation linked increases don't seem to have the same criteria, just every two years in line with inflation.the criteria to increase rent more than the old 4% method was crazy.

I believe it's the same for the new inflation linked rental increase method.
Is there anything more than anecdote to support this idea that small-scale landlords are more tenant friendly than institutional landlords? In my renting days, I always found it easier to work with a proper letting agent than the actual landlord, in terms of service and rent levels. Those were the days before the institutional landlords, mind you.I speak to a lot of landlords who keep rents below market rates or don't increase it just to keep a good tenant.

What makes you assume that the owner of the rental property was not a small-scale landlord? Just because you were dealing with a letting agent doesn't mean that the were not employed by a small-scale landlord to take care of their property.Is there anything more than anecdote to support this idea that small-scale landlords are more tenant friendly than institutional landlords?

I was making the point that, as a tenant, I had better experiences dealing with a professional agent than dealing direct with a landlord. I don't think we had too many institutional landlords in those days, so it's possibly difficult to compare.What makes you assume that the owner of the rental property was not a small-scale landlord?

I see. I would imagine that it varies. Of all the landlords I had the only one who didn't do anything was the one with multiple properties but I suppose everyone's experience would be different.I was making the point that, as a tenant, I had better experiences dealing with a professional agent than dealing direct with a landlord.

I was really just asking if there is any research to support the position that tenants do better with small scale landlords than with institutions.
I am a landlord with 2 properties I manage them myself, I always try and avoid tenants who have been shortchanged by former landlords,I see. I would imagine that it varies. Of all the landlords I had the only one who didn't do anything was the one with multiple properties but I suppose everyone's experience would be different.
Its v short sighted. There has to be a rent freeze I think. Even though that'll drive more out.I know it will get no sympathy, but this is the final nail in the coffin for trying to grow your wealth in Ireland.
Between deemed disposal for shares and now this law for rental properties, how exactly is anyone supposed to grow their wealth in Ireland?

Dr Rory Hearne: It's simple - the Government favours landlords and investors over renters
The housing expert says the broken rental market in Ireland is down to years of failed political policy.www.thejournal.ie
This one of the factors driving these policies. Blatantly political comments under the cover of a University affiliation. Apparently the only landlords leaving the sector are accidential ones.

I would just reproduce the template wording - the solicitor can strike out the wording that is not applicable.I would appreciate any opinions or help
Don't worry about the people who never got elected at least we know where he stands when he went for election,His articles have also appeared recently in the Irish Examiner without any reference to his background as an unsuccessful PbP candidate in Dail and Seanad elections.
Politicans just want media off their backsThere are other silly things like prohibiting landlords from banning pets.
Another one is giving tenants the right to opt for an unfurnished dwelling.
This will just accelerate landlords' rush for the door.
Politicians obviously want a perfect, but very small, rental sector in Ireland.
I think I'll say ' I'm a private intellectual'. So I'm really intelligent but only I know it, unless I tell you I'm very intelligent.When people ask me what I work at, I find it hard to explain. In future, I think I will just tell them that I am a public intellectual.
