The Government today officially announced plans to implement a new national rent control system.

The new rental regulations will mean that the current system, which caps yearly rent increases at 2%, or in line with inflation, will be retained for existing tenancies.

Landlords will also be allowed to hike rents in instances where tenants leave homes voluntarily.

To discuss, Kieran is joined by Daniel McConnell, Editor of the Business Post, Kate English, Deloitte Chief Economist and later Pat Davitt, CEO at IPAV.
