When your housed under the Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) the council pays the landlord and you pay the council a percentage of your household income.
Can anyone tell me exactly what percentage of your income you pay the council? I've been looking into this for a few days now and can't get an answer anywhere. Im in north dublin.
So ive just found the answer to my own question lol.
The rent of a dwelling let on differential rent will be calculated as 15% of the principal earner’s weekly assessable income, which exceeds €32.00.
After the rent payable in respect of the principal earner has been assessed, 15% of the weekly assessable income of each subsidiary earner, which exceeds €32.00, will be added to the weekly rent, subject to the following maximum contributions:
The maximum weekly rent contribution that will be assessed on the income of any individual subsidiary earner will be €19.00.
Im a bit confused so if someone could break this down in plain english please. Does this mean that the subsidiary earner only has to pay a max of 19euro???
