A third of renters are spending 50% or more of their net income on rent, according to a housing charity.
Threshold has published the results of a survey of 500 adult renters about their income as part of its campaign to highlight the rights that private renters in Ireland have.
It found that 60% had their rent increased in the last year, and almost half (47%) of all renters said a landlord had withhold their security deposit unfairly – up 20% compared with last year.
