🏠 Guaranteed Rent For Landlords – But Is There A Catch?

A new Government pilot scheme is offering landlords guaranteed rental payments in a bid to increase the supply of social housing.

The updated Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) offers:
✅ Up to 100% of market rent, subject to eligibility
✅ Guaranteed rent paid directly by the local authority
✅ Payments even when a property is temporarily vacant between tenants
✅ Contracts of up to eight years

📍 The scheme is currently being trialled across Dublin's four local authority areas until 2029, with the potential for a nationwide rollout.

However, the IPOA has raised concerns about the practical implications for landlords, including restrictions on achieving market rent, long-term tenancy obligations and ongoing property management responsibilities.

While guaranteed rental income sounds attractive, will the scheme provide enough reassurance to encourage landlords to participate?

📰 The Irish Times examines the scheme and includes the IPOA's concerns in an article published today, October 20th.

Budget 2027: Why Property Experts Fear Ireland’s Rental Crisis Is About to Get Worse

“All over the country, there are landlords leaving the market, and there is no one to replace them.”

IPOA Chairperson Mary Conway spoke to the Business Post about the Government's failure to address the continued departure of private landlords in Budget 2027.

📉 50.2% of Notices of Termination in Q2 were linked to landlords intending to sell their properties.

Mary highlighted the urgent need to recognise rental property as a business, introduce meaningful tax incentives and encourage both existing and new landlords to remain in the sector.

The IPOA warns that without action, the loss of smaller landlords will further reduce rental supply, particularly in rural Ireland, leaving tenants with fewer housing options.

IPOA Chairperson Mary Conway joined Galway Talks on Galway Bay FM to discuss the Government’s failure to address the continued departure of smaller landlords from Ireland’s rental market.

Despite repeated warnings, Budget 2027 failed to introduce meaningful measures to encourage private landlords to remain in the sector.

🏠 50.2% of Notices of Termination in Q2 were linked to landlords intending to sell.

The IPOA believes the Government has missed a crucial opportunity to support smaller landlords, protect rental supply and prevent the market becoming increasingly dominated by large institutional investors.

Smaller landlords need a reason to stay, not another reason to leave.

🎧 Listen to Mary Conway discussing why Budget 2027 has left so many landlords disappointed.

This Is More Than Bad Behaviour – It's Criminal Damage

🎙️ IPOA Chairperson Mary Conway joined Newstalk to discuss the shocking destruction of a property in College Court, Limerick, where extensive damage was caused during an incident involving a large gathering of young people.

Footage circulating on TikTok shows windows being smashed, walls and ceilings being destroyed, and furniture being thrown from the property.

For landlords, incidents like this raise serious questions about criminal damage, accountability and the protection of private property.

Gardaí are investigating the incident.

“WHY BOTHER STAYING?”

That’s the question IPOA board member Maurice Deverell says many landlords will be asking after Budget 2027.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Maurice said the Budget failed to deliver what was really needed - measures to retain existing landlords, support investment in rental properties and keep rental homes in the market.

While some supports for tenants are welcome, the bigger concern remains: if local landlords continue to leave, what happens to rental supply?

As Maurice put it, “We needed a Budget to keep existing landlords… but we got none of that.”

Ireland cannot afford to keep losing the very people providing homes in the private rental sector.

“International funds are the darling of the day for our Finance Minister, but they don’t care about Ireland or have no real investment in it.”

That’s the stark view of former landlord Brendan Allen, who says there is nothing that would bring him back into Ireland’s rental market.

His comments raise an important question about the direction of Ireland’s rental sector.

As smaller, locally based landlords continue to leave, are we creating a market increasingly dependent on large international funds?

Small landlords live here, spend here and have a long-term connection to the communities where they provide homes. Yet many feel that increasing regulation, taxation and costs are making it harder to justify remaining in the sector.

Ireland needs a balanced rental market that protects tenants while also giving responsible landlords a genuine reason to stay and invest.

If we continue losing small landlords, who replaces them?

“Government Had An Opportunity To Give Landlords A Reason To Stay. It Has Missed That Opportunity.”

IPOA Chair Mary Conway has responded to Budget 2027, warning that the measures announced do not address the continued loss of smaller landlords from Ireland’s rental market.

The figures already show the pressure:

➡️ 50.2% of Q2 Notices of Termination were linked to landlords intending to sell.
➡️ Investors accounted for 24% of Dublin property sales in Q3.

Mary said, “You cannot claim to be tackling Ireland’s housing crisis while simultaneously pursuing policies that are driving landlords out of the rental market.”

IPOA believes urgent measures are still needed to make it viable for smaller and medium-sized landlords to remain in the sector and protect existing rental supply.

Every landlord who leaves risks another home being lost from the rental market.

IPOA is calling on Government to review the current position and introduce measures that support both tenants and property owners by stabilising rental supply.

“Over-Regulation Is Choking The Property Market.”

A letter in The Irish Times highlights a concern the IPOA has raised repeatedly: regulation must protect tenants, but it also needs to ensure that providing rental accommodation remains viable.

The writer points to growing compliance burdens, lengthy RTB dispute resolution and the continued departure of smaller landlords from the market.

Ireland needs a rental system that works for both tenants and property owners.

If smaller landlords continue to leave, the consequences are ultimately felt through reduced choice and reduced supply.

With Budget 2027 approaching, the IPOA continues to call for a more balanced, practical approach that encourages responsible landlords to remain in the sector.
