Govt's rent control plans a 'shambles'

THE Government was forced to edit a press release on the new Rent Pressure Zone legislation after causing confusion about when landlords can increase rents.

- 

The Government has been accused of being “all over the place” and “confused” on its rent control plans.

In response, Taoiseach Micheal Martin accused the opposition of confusing the proposals and said he did not accept that they would lead to an increase in evictions and rent costs.
