PRIVATE TENANCY RENTS CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN DONEGAL

ForRentSignThe average rent for all dwellings in the private rented sector in Co. Donegal in Quarter 4 of 2015, and which were registered with the Private Residential Tenancies Board (PRTB) was €463.

This was up €6 when compared to the average rent in Q3, 2015, when the amount was €457, and was up €23 when compared to a year earlier, in the last quarter of 2014, figures released today show.

This data comes from the latest PRTB Quarterly Rent Index which is compiled by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) for the Board.

It is the most accurate and authoritative rent report of its kind on the private accommodation sector in Ireland. This is because it is based on the actual rents being paid, according to the PRTB’s records, as distinct from the asking or advertised rent.

At a national level, monthly rent levels rose in Q4, 2015, by 2.2% when compared with Q3 when the growth rate was 3.6%. Looking at the trends in more detail, monthly rents countrywide for houses were up by 1.5% quarter on quarter, while rents for apartments were 2.7% higher than in Q3, 2015.

Rents in Dublin grew by 1.8% in Q4 compared with Q3, 2015. While rents for houses in Dublin increased by just 0.7%, rents for Dublin apartments rose by 1.9%. For properties outside Dublin, rents in Q4 2015, when compared with the third quarter of that year, were up 2.3%. Rents for houses outside Dublin recorded a quarterly increase of 1.9%, while apartment rents outside Dublin increased by 2.9% in Q4, 2015.

Commenting on the latest Rent Index findings, a Spokesperson for the PRTB said it was another opportunity too to remind both landlords and tenants of the provisions of the new tenancy legislation which came into law last December. “That provides that rent may only be increased once in a 24 month period (previously 12 months). It also provides that 90 days advance notice must be given prior to any increase (previously 28 days). As previously, rents may not be more than the market rate.

All landlords are legally obliged to register tenancies with the PRTB and the number of new registrations with the PRTB in Q4, 2015, was 27,316.
