    Finally something that benefits landlords (RE HAP payments)

    Instead of referring to 'The State' I would prefer we called it 'Taxpayer'.Landlords are paying themselves(through taxes via HAP)to maintain defaulting tenants in comfort whilst being always available to sort problems for them

    Green Party TD supports requiring landlords who sell, to keep the tenant in situ.

    Exiting landlords could spend their proceeds on buying foreign assets like stock,property or spend it on foreign holidays.As repeated here many times Government should incentivise landlords stay and invest here with Tax incentives-rent-room allowance,CGT.Why not 20% tax deducted at source for...

    How about easing rent controls for landlords with 3 properties or fewer?

    With a dysfunctional housing market and rental market in disequilibrium does 'market rate' for rentals have any real permanent meaning.Without a mortgage(many rentals have no mortgage) landlords with gross rental of say 2000 a month are not so badly off despite taxes and regulation.They also...

    Budget 2012 tweaked CGT regime to encourage landlords to purchase housing stock in downturn.This purely a budgetary decision,nothing to do with fairness ot Tax system.Minister could do something similar again to keep Landlords in rental business.He could for instance,without interfering with...
