Landlords will 'flee the market' if taxes aren't reduced, representative body warns

A group representing auctioneers have warned that a combination of high taxes and over-regulation are causing landlords to leave the market.

The Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers (Ipav) cited figures from the Residential Tenancies Board that showed there are over 1,700 fewer landlords in Ireland in 2018 than three years earlier.
