Rents in Dublin city are 5.2% higher than their previous peak in early 2008, and when compared to their lowest rates in 2010, have grown by 51.3%.
THE NUMBER OF available houses on the Irish rental market has fallen by 20% in the last year, while the cost of rented accommodation has risen by 3.9% in the past three months.
The under-supply and rising prices are putting severe pressure on young families, job seekers and workers.
