Yes, and landlords should be held to strict regulations in ensuring tenants have safe, good quality homes to live in

Yes but it needs to be monitored. This 1% or 2% increase every year is not good! There should be a price bracket for what category the property fits into. If you put money into it then you can charge more but it should have to be looked into and approved before charging more.

Maybe set a limit on max rent for a specific type of property in an area eg 3 bed semi in Dublin . However some landlords cannot sustain to rent as it is too low and the RPZ’s only allow 2% increase

While I agree that we need to tackle the issue of ridiculously high rent, multiple studies show, and most economists agree, that rent control policies have more harmful effects on the market than have positive effects.

If RTB didn't take 47% of rent in tax, landlords wouldn't need to have such high rents to cover the cost of the property and rent control could come into affect then.

Provided the government don’t put the sole blame on the landlord and reduce rental tax then yes. Some landlords pay 50% tax and still have mortgages on the property so a cap should be reflective of this.

 @9ZDP3MVanswered…2wks2W

There should be a threshold the landlord can charge based on the behaviour, income and length of tenancy

 @9ZCTZV6answered…2wks2W

Yes, they should also make policies to incentives landlords to sell the properties they're renting for full time ownership.
