Places for rent: 35% increase in the number of event announcements.

Áiteanna ar cíos: ardú 35 faoin gcéad ar an líon fógraí imeachta.

There was a 35% increase in the number of eviction notices given by landlords to tenants in the third quarter of the year compared to the same period last year, according to new figures from the Residential Tenancies Board.

Bhí ardú de 35 faoin gcéad ar an líon fógraí imeachta a thug tiarnaí talún do thionóntaí sa tríú ráithe den bhliain i gcomórtas leis an tréimhse chéanna anuraidh, de réir figiúirí nua ón mBord um Thionóntachtaí Cónaithe.

5,405 eviction notices were issued to tenants between July and September this year, and 61% of these notices were issued on the basis that the landlord intended to sell the property.

Is 5,405 fógra imeachta a tugadh do thionóntaí idir Iúil agus Meán Fómhair i mbliana, agus is ar an mbonn go raibh rún ag an tiarna talún an mhaoin a dhíol a tugadh 61 faoin gcéad de na fógraí sin.

It is believed that the significant increase in eviction notices is related to new rules that are due to be implemented next spring and are being frowned upon by landlords who only have one or two places to rent.

Meastar go bhfuil baint ag an ardú suntasach atá tagtha ar fhógraí imeachta le rialacha nua atá le cur i bhfeidhm an t-earrach seo chugainn agus a bhfuil col leo ag tiarnaí talún nach bhfuil acu le ligean ar cíos ach áit nó dhó.

As with these new rules, for example, a rent increase will be required to be equal to the increase in the rate of inflation, that is, or an annual increase of a maximum of 2%, whichever is lower.

Mar leis na rialacha nua sin, cuir i gcás, ceanglófar ardú ar chíos den ardú ar ráta an bhoilsicthe, é sin nó ardú bliaintúil de 2 faoin gcéad ar a mhéid, pé acu is ísle.

According to Rosemary Steen of the Residential Tenancies Board, while the increase in the number of eviction notices is a cause for concern, it is common for landlords to exit the rental sector.

Dar le Rosemary Steen ón mBord um Thionóntachtaí Cónaithe cé gur údar imní an t-ardú ar an líon fógraí imeachta gur den ghnás é tiarnaí talún ag imeacht ón earnáil cíosa.

Housing Minister James Browne said the new figures should take into account the increase in the number of tenancies despite the number of landlords falling.

Dúirt an tAire Tithíochta James Browne nár mhór aird a thabhairt sna figiúirí nua ar an ardú atá tagtha ar an líon tionóntachtaí in ainneoin an líon tiarnaí talún a bheith ag ísliú.
