The exodus of landlords from the private rental sector could result in the loss of 15,000 tenancies this year alone, new data has revealed.

The Government’s lifting of the eviction ban is facing renewed scrutiny as the latest Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) figures show 4,329 notices of termination (NoT) were issued to renters in the final three months of last year. That will leave thousands looking for somewhere to live at a time when supply is at an all-time low.
