Residential Tenancies (No. 2) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2021-06-23
============================================================

Eoin Ó Broin (SF), Dublin Mid-West

I move amendment No. 10:
In page 5, between lines 2 and 3, to insert the following:
‘‘Amendment of section 19 of Act of 2004
5. Section 19 of the Act of 2004 is amended by the substitution of the following subsection for subsection (4):
‘‘(4) Subject to subsection (5), in setting, at any particular time, the rent under a tenancy of a dwelling in a rent pressure zone, an amount of rent shall not be provided for that is greater than 4 per cent of the rent currently being paid by a sitting tenant or 4 per cent of the rent paid by the last tenant registered at the property.”.’’.
Given that we have limited time and I wish to expedite matters, with the agreement of the Acting Chairman and the Minister, I will speak to amendments Nos. 10, 12 and 13. They are the next amendments and we may be able to get through all of them if we discuss them now.
