The government's recent proposal to amend Rent Pressure Zones (RPZs) in response to the housing crisis is already hitting resistance. Opposition parties and homelessness groups are concerned about landlords being able to raise rents significantly after six years, potentially creating an incentive for evictions. While current RPZ limits will stay for existing properties, newly built apartments will be exempt. The proposals have faced severe criticism, especially from Sinn Féin's Eoin Ó Broin, who highlights that loopholes might endanger existing renters facing eviction opportunities for landlords after the six-year mark.
Eoin Ó Broin warns the new housing proposals could create a "legal incentive" for landlords to evict tenants, allowing them to charge full market rent thereafter.
The government's proposed rental changes face backlash from opposition and homelessness groups, focusing on potential loopholes that could increase risk for existing renters.
