Sinn Féin is calling for a three-year rent freeze to stop rising costs for tenants.

Housing spokesperson Éoin Ó Broin has said no one measure will tackle the crisis in the rental market and while the three-year rent freeze is necessary he said the Government must also put major investment into affordable cost rental housing.
