Eviction remains most serious issue facing private renters, warns charity

Termination notices are placing renters at risk of homelessness, with so few properties available to rent, said Threshold.

Half of tenancy termination notices, outside of property sales, were found to be invalid by housing charity Threshold as it said that evictions remain the most serious issue facing private renters in Ireland.

Threshold advisers identified just over 40% of termination notices to be deemed invalid in the last three months of 2022. This rose to 50% for notices that stated the landlord or a family member was moving into the property and to over 60% for notices citing rent arrears as a cause for termination.
