Government to Reveal Plans to Control Rent Costs Today

We'll find out later how the Government plans to tackle rising rental costs.

The plans are expected to include rent caps in so-called 'pressure zones' like Cork and Dublin.

That means Landlords will only be able to increase payments by up to four per cent a year, over the next three years.

The Residential Tenancies Board will be responsible for deciding which areas qualify for caps.

The Irish Times says the scheme is designed to give tenants 'rent predictability'.
