Plan to sell more homes with tenants in place
As a way of preventing homelessness through evictions, Eoghan Murphy wants to encourage owners of rental properties to put houses and apartments on the market with tenants in situ, which is common-place in the commercial sector.
Focus Ireland, who have been continuously campaigning for such a measure, said if an amendment brought forward by the housing charity in December 2016 had been passed it would have prevented at least 250 families and over 500 children from becoming homeless last year.
