We were really pleased that Morning Ireland covered our joint idea with Fr. Peter McVerry on a way to help reduce pressure in the rented sector by giving landlords tax breaks in return for rent-freezes.
The idea is simple, you allow landlords to get full mortgage interest relief and offset their local property tax in return for giving the tenant a ‘rent freeze’, this can be managed via the PRTB who already link in with Revenue on some matters.
The clip explains how it would work, in the piece you’ll hear Fran McNulty discussing this idea with Karl Deeter
