Extension of renter protections and universal sick pay plan to go before Cabinet 

DKANE 08/06/2021

Extending the ban on evictions and rent increases, introducing a cap on rent deposits, and new plans for universal sick pay are all to be approved by the Cabinet today, the Irish Examiner understands.

The Covid-19 ban on rent evictions and increases is to be extended until January 12, 2022, as it is expected Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien will bring a bill to extend the targeted residential tenancy provisions under the Planning and Development and Residential Tenancies Act 2020.
