Why are we launching a public consultation?
The Housing for All Action Plan Update (November, 2022) stated the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage would commission a comprehensive review of the private rental sector.
This review will take into account the significant regulatory changes over the past several years in the residential rental market. It will draw conclusions on how our housing system can be enhanced to provide an efficient, affordable, viable, safe and secure framework for both landlords and tenants.
A central element of the review is the public consultation. We are encouraging the public to give their views, experiences and perspectives on the private rental sector in Ireland.
Do you have any ideas or suggested changes to improve the private rental sector? If you do, please contact us. We want to hear from you.
