Que another surge in homeless figures, this government are such scum bags they clearly couldn’t care any less 😒
Great to see the govt respecting an Bhunracht and property rights of the people. 🙌🏻
>Mr Varadkar said the Cabinet would “have to weigh up the pros and cons”, that the future of the ban was “not a black and white decision”, and it involved balancing “a number of different rights”.
That “balancing a number of different rights” comment says it all.
The right to profit superseding the right to shelter. Sick cunts.
>Pat Davitt, chief executive of the Institute of Professional Auctioneers & Valuers, said a new report by his organisation suggested that 25,000 of 166,000 vacant properties across the country could potentially be brought back into use, but warned this might not be achievable if potential landlords did not have the ability to evict tenants.
Grotesque… if the properties are vacant, i.e., unoccupied, why would it be unachievable if landlords did not have the ability to evict tenants?
Why can’t they just pass a law where landlords have to sell with the tenant in situ? That way landlords can still exit and tenants don’t go homeless
Good.
As much as people may decry “evil profit hungry cunts”, without that incentive, you’re going to have fewer people invest in housing as an investment vehicle leading to fewer houses being built etc etc.
It doesn’t matter if you like it or not. People with money in the country are not a charity, and if you remove from them the gains, they’ll stop taking the risks.
I’m happy about this. I know a few people who just won’t let property because of bad experiences with tenants not only not paying their rent but not paying their electricity bill. And as a result just saying it’s not worth the hassle. One in a house in Dublin. She’d love to earn some rent from her property if the balance wasn’t so far on the side of tenants rights. It’s really unattractive to let property right now.
How does first refusal on buying work? Surely the landlord will want to sell on the open market for the best price. If the tenant is expected to pay market value they could just bid on it like anyone else.
I see that this place is being shilled hard by landlords.
My family will be homeless when the ban lapses. No places to rent and no emergency accom available. What do I do?
This will just result in tenants paying relatively low rent being turfed out and replaced with tenants paying “market rate” and receiving HAP, which is a super way of getting even more public money into private middle-class hands.
There aren’t the thousands of rental properties sitting vacant out there needed to meet current demand, and this isn’t going to prompt the government to start either building housing or approving large low-cost housing development. This will only make things worse for tenants.
If Sinn Fein ever get into power,
I hope they’ll look after the ordinary people,the way FG look after the rich 🤞
Pretty devastating for anyone who finds themselves evicted as a result, however it is probably the lesser of two evils.
The housing situation at the moment has become chaotic. While the ban was nessary to stop people being evicted in the middle of winter who had no hope of finding a place to rent all they’ve done is kick the can down the road and now there is an incoming cascade of evictions.
The government’s consitent kicking the can down the road created this situation in the first place after years and years of short sighted policy. They were warned numerous times of the longterm implications. This is what happened when a goverment favours corporate landlords for so long whilst ignoring private landlords. At the end of the day the ones who end up suffering is the renters because of horrible government policy that made is hard for regular people.
Again, the government set out to turn us all against each other.
Maybe if they did eviction ban ends for people not paying any rent but those paying rent protected?
The government are only “pro landlord” because they structured our entire national housing system around private landlords.
You’d swear there was 50 or 60 multi millionaires running a cartel. There’s over 150,000 landlords in Ireland.
Great news, it will be the warmer months of the year now when all the evicted are in tents!
Ultimately an eviction ban fecks with the economics of housing, is unsustainable and had to be let lapse at some point, even with all the problems that would cause. Which absolutely everyone should have understood from day 1. There was no side-stepping this problem.
The issue here is the wider context of government handling of housing in the country being so unbelievably shit, not the faults in the can-kicking measures they’ve engaged in during that period.
Nice to see you lads down south fall in love with landlords again. That always ends well.
Lot of tenants being told that their landlord is “selling” at the moment
What’s incentivising landlords to evict existing tenants?
Is it so they can sell the property? Or get new tenants in and jack up the rent? (against rules in an RPZ but imagine it’s not too strictly controlled)
I’m not opposed to them getting rid of it, but I am opposed to it being abruptly ended and a sudden wave of evictions happening. It should have been a phased end.
The goverment could have started building more housing when the crisis was predicted 10 years ago, they didn’t. They could have started building houses 5 years ago when it got worse, they didn’t. They could start building more housing now – no sign of it happening.
Instead that directly compete with institutional landlords and private developers pushing land and home prices up higher , its completely bonkers.
They could tender out a set of template house building contracts so councils could select from a panel of offsite factory built units and only have to worry about foundations and services. Just drop the units in for a set price. Units built in quality checked factories avoiding any Priory hall type corner cutting disaster.
Christ, the comments. Half of ye would have sold grain to England during the famine and it shows.
Common sense prevails, it was wrong to begin with.
