Landlord in Sligo town increases rent on two separate properties by €600 per month

  1. That’s a massive increase for anyone to have to pay. Granted the current rent appears to be lower than the average, but you’d have to assume that this was the rate the landlord was happy to set when the tenants moved in.

  2. Two women’s rent is another man’s income in the best little country in the world to be in the business of having someone else pay for you owning multiple properties.

    They should have just got up earlier in the morning and, maybe, they too could have multiple properties that other people would pay for them to own.

  3. This is a non-story. €1,500 is a great deal for a 4-bedroom house. Rent control was and continues to be a massive mistake which distorts the market and unfairly disadvantages those who need to find a new rental.

  4. Imagine expecting €1,500 to live in fucking Tubbercurry? They were already getting robbed at €880….

    There’s nothing there and I hope you like shopping in SuperValu cos you’re shit outta luck otherwise.

  5. Just looked up houses for sale in Tubbercurry on MyHome. They are cheap compared to Galway, Dublin etc.
    the first one is €145k for a 4 bed.

    Tubbercurry landlords living it large.

  6. The tennants need to set up an escrow account that they control and continue to put the old rent amount in that account pending a review from whatever quangos investigate these type of things.

  7. The government introduced rent control where tenants can appeal the rent but landlords cannot so if they leave the rent low they are punished down the road. Added to that if we have a SF Government more controls will be brought in. What do you expect him to do it’s business not a charity.

  8. >Neighbours Mary Loftus and Anna Gallagher both live in houses owned by the same landlord were recently informed that their respective rents will rise by €600 per month.
    Rent on Loftus’ four-bedroom house will increase from €880 to €1,500 a month. Gallagher’s rent, which is for a three-bedroom home, is increasing from €800 to €1,400 a month.

    I’d hang him out a balcony! I’d be too angry to talk.

  9. This stuff is a tale as old as time. You keep laying on more and more punishment on people and eventually things are going to get violent. For a long time it was the Brits, now it’s our own rich.
