Thursdays Irish Times Property section

Advice given in the Irish Times tells readers that rents are indeed falling in Dublin and that landlords should not try to increase rents

A landlord has written to the Irish Times Property section this Thursday 20th to find out what she should do if her tenants refuse to pay the rent increase she wants. She wants to put the rent up by 100euro but the tenants have rightly pointed out that this is unreasonable since rents are coming down. They claim that rather than putting the rent up the landlord should be decreasing the rent!

The advice given by the Irish Times, who earn huge amounts of money from property advertising, is that the tenants are right, rents have been coming down and that she should hold onto the tenants and not try to evict them.

But dont take my word for it read it for yourself!!

Advice as always is to haggle with your landlord, offer less than the rent they are asking for and shop around. If you can wait a few months before signing any kind of lease you will benefit from cheaper rents!!!
