Election 2024: Renting — 'We see parents with children living in the grandparents’ homes'

It's hard enough to find a place to live or afford the rent — but renters are also living in fear of eviction, says Threshold CEO

Threshold chief executive John-Mark McCafferty said: 'We know that the best way to keep people from losing their homes is to support renters.'

Renters are living in fear of a ‘notice of termination’ and the next government needs to tackle tenancy rights as a priority, the chief executive of the housing charity Threshold has said.

There are around 330,000 renters in Ireland, with many tenants living with a lack of security of the future of their homes.
