It’s being claimed that some social housing tenants in Leitrim have been hit with rent increases in the region of 300 per cent.

 

The increases rents are part of new rent model being introduced by the Local Authority.

 

It’s thought that the previous model used to determine rents for social housing was outdated after having been updated in many years.

 

Leitrim County Council claim increased upkeep costs associate with social housing have left them with no option but to issue the increases.

 

Drumshanbo Councillor Brendan Barry feels the increases should be spread out over a period of time.
