The Government's rental policies are driving landlords out of the rental market.

 

The issue is thought to be more severe in in many rural parts including parts of the North West.

 

 

The Irish Property Owners Association, has revealed the latest research from the Residential Tenancies Board shows there were over 5 thousand notices of termination in the last quarter of 2025.

 

 

That's an increase of 41 per cent annually, with 62 percent of those notices due to Landlords decisions to sell their properties.

 

 

Maurice Deverell says generally when landlords leave in local towns there's no-one to take their place.
