Tenants need better rights - Kelly

Fianna Fail candidate for Dublin Mid-West, Des Kelly, has called for the Government to review the existing landlord and tenant legislation.

Mr Kelly says the situation has changed since the current legislation was introduced in 1992 and , "it is time to look at tenants' rights".

He adds that letting tenants operate on a year-to-year basis and giving tenants as little as four weeks' notice is unacceptable.

He also added that landlords have done well this year with interest relief re-instated and stamp duty reduced.
