A new report has called on the coalition to change its housing policy on several fronts, including the introduction of tax breaks for landlords.
Despite the Government’s Housing for All programme, the National Economic and Social Council’s (NESC) report on Private Rental in Ireland said that the sector is “contracting at a time of rapidly growing demand” and that “immediate action was required from Government”.
It also called for the introduction of “NCT-style” checks where landlords would have to “demonstrate compliance with minimum standards”.
