The Daily PollPoll: Have you been affected by the rental crisis?
A new report by Daft.ie shows that rent in Dublin is now €380 per month higher than at the peak of the Celtic Tiger years.
TODAY, THE LATEST Daft.ie quarterly rental report shows that rents in Ireland increased by 2.4% nationally in the final quarter of 2017.
The figures have been particularly affected by the trends seen in Dublin – where the average rent is now €380 per month higher than what was seen at the peak of the Celtic Tiger years.
The rental problems being seen across the country have been well-documented in the aftermath of the recession, with seemingly endlessly spiralling asking prices and a lack of supply putting people to the pin of their collar and exacerbating the homelessness crisis.
