Friend in Bray was looking to move back into the home she was renting in 2022 for €2,100/month.
The landlord quotes her €3,000/month.
I’m shocked: how can he do that when there’s a 2% yearly cap on price increases? So the most he should be able to charge is €2,273.10.
Can you guess the answer?
Did you say because Irish people elected a majority conservative/neoliberal government?
(Apparently the government just removed the 2% cap for new tenancies.¹ Landlords can now charge “market rates”. In other words, whatever the fuck they like.)²
Happy shoot yourself in the foot day to anyone who voted for Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael. Many happy returns.
