Landlord exodus 'contributing to rise in homelessness'

'Most of the termination notices are as a result of the landlord deciding to sell the home,' said Threshold.

The exodus of landlords from the rental sector through selling up is putting households at immediate risk of homelessness, housing charity Threshold has warned.

In its latest quarterly report, Threshold said that the threat of eviction is the greatest issue facing private renters in Ireland, but over half of eviction notices given to tenants in the last quarter of 2022 were invalid.
