Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2021-11-23
============================================================

Fintan Warfield (SF), Cultural and Educational Panel

I was asked to make a point in favour of this amendment on behalf of Senators Ruane and Black. They acknowledge that limits on rent inflation need to be imposed across the State. They recognise that where rent pressure zones are already established, rent increase limits are not being adequately enforced. They say that while expanding rent pressure zones is a positive suggestion, they want adequate enforcement of rent caps where they are already imposed and adequate scrutiny of the enforcement mechanism. Senators Ruane and Black will table amendments on Report Stage. They regret that they could not be here tonight.
