Calls for eviction ban as number of Irish renters forced out of homes doubles in a year

The number of renters being forced to leave their house by their landlords has more than doubled in the last year.

Almost 3,000 notices of termination were received in the first half of 2022, compared to over 1,800 in the final six months of 2021.

According to the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB), most landlords are exiting the market because they want to sell their property.
