University residents’ group calls for Revenue focus on rogue landlords

The group representing thousands of residents living in Cork’s third-level districts has called for a Revenue-led crackdown on rogue landlords.

The Cork University Residents’ Forum, which has identified hundreds of unregistered rental properties around UCC and CIT, said a co-ordinated blitz on its blacklist could result in a tax windfall for the exchequer.

It has organised a series of public meetings next week as part of an effort to tackle antisocial student behaviour.
