The chairman of the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) has been criticised for saying renters should pay more for accommodation provided by institutional landlords as it provides security of tenure.
Tom Dunne also admitted that this view means “effectively” only those on high wages can access security of tenure through paying the higher rents that institutional landlords charge.
The comments come after the Irish Examiner reported that Mr Dunne said on Thursday the best type of rental accommodation people could have in the private market is with vulture fund-owned properties.
