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.

But have you been materially affected by the rental crisis? And if so, how?
