An Ennis solicitor claims the exodus of landlords from the rental market will continue into the new year. The Residential Tenancies Amendment Act was passed in June of this year and under the amendment, the entire country became a rent pressure zone while yearly rent increases were cappped at 2%. Under the new legislation, also implemented Tenancies of Minimum Duration, which take effect from March 2026, has resulted in older landlords choosing to sell their property before the measures take effect. Sharon Cahir of Cahir & Co Solicitors in Ennis says the act has in no way encouraged landlords to stay in the rental market.
