The Hard Shoulder
The latest figures from the Residential Tenancies Board were published today, and they show that rents have risen significantly across the country, with new tenants paying an average of €326 more per month than sitting tenants this year.
However, the figures also found that evictions have gone down 42.9% in the last three months since the rental reforms were introduced in March.
Joining Ciara to discuss the figures is Social Democrats Spokesperson on Housing and Dublin West TD, Rory Hearne.
