Vulture funds 'best landlords', says tenancies board chief

'The greatest security of tenure you get now is from institutional landlords,' said Tom Dunne, chair of the Residential Tenancies Board.

The best place for households renting in the private market to live is in a property owned by a vulture fund, the chair of the Residential Tenancies Board has said.

In remarks made at the launch of a report into how the private rental sector is making people more vulnerable, Tom Dunne said it is “worth a tenant’s while to pay more rent to achieve security of tenure”.
