Hearne is a committed Marxist , a key policy writer for PBP , he even ran for the party in the 2007 electionDr 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.
He does make a fair point about the sale of the rise in rents though which has far outstripped wages. That is the other factor driving political parties such as Labour to suggest things like rent freezes. Many renters just can't cope. The problem is the unintended consequences of the policies.
Which tells you all anyone needs to know about RTEHe is also a regular on RTE without his hard-left political history ever being mentioned.
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.

Thinking the sameI'm wondering how long this Bill will take to go through and how likely it is to succeed due to the fact that the Minister did not oppose it? The element of the bill that I am most concerned about is not being able to sell my property with vacant possession. I had intended to sell in the next two years. Perhaps I should send out the notice of termination now.
in some cases The Taxpayer will finish up footing the bill for furnishing, after a visit or two to the local TDs office,Another one is giving tenants the right to opt for an unfurnished dwelling.
I see the Bill is sponsored by Ivana BacikThe Tanaiste confirmed today that the Government will not be opposing a Labour Bill that seeks to provide greater security of tenure for tenants.
The Bill will remove the ground which allows a landlord to end a tenancy on the basis that they intend to sell the property within three months.
The Bill also provides that a landlord can only evict for renovations where “no reasonable measures can be taken to maintain the dwelling fit for human habitation”. It also deals with landlords evicting renters to move in their own family member – it would restrict this to just spouses, civil partners or children.
What article?Ahh - so that's why you had that interesting article published in today's Sunday Times, Brendan!
I think that's a bit extreme. I bought a house with sitting tenants in it about a decade ago. They were gone by the time the sale closed.Nobody in their right mind is going to buy a property with tenants in it.
I am a landlord could you please refrain from labeling tenants,We have been looking to move for the last couple of months.
Out of all the (maybe 25) houses we have looked at around 80% of them are ex-rentals. I always ask the agent this just out of curiosity.
A couple of them had tenants still in them but under notice and we were assured that they wo
Nobody in their right mind is going to buy a property with tenants in it. Unless maybe an investor might. But where are you going to get an investor these days? And what investor is going to buy a place with tenants who wont leave for their previous landlord. Sure sign of trouble ahead.

Most people nowadays were tenants before they become homeowners including myself many many years ago,

Money talks and in the scheme of a house sale a few thousand euros to difficult tenants by the vendor will usually see them move on.
That said, if I was a landlord selling up I would make sure the tenants were out before viewings started.
Would you do it now though given the legislation since you last did it?
I suspect that the last sentence of his post answers that question!
The shinners are doing a lot of damage since they got into governmentI suspect that the last sentence of his post answers that question!
you seem to have a blind spot when it comes to Government policy,Thats if he was a landlord selling. We were talking about as a buyer would you risk that the tenants wouldnt move out now when overholding is rife, even encouraged by councils and charities.
