Housing Minister Urged To Clamp Down On Illegal Rent Inflation In Clare

There are calls for a clampdown on landlords illegally inflating rents in Clare. Kilrush Independent Councillor Ian Lynch is asking the Housing Minister to review legislation which he claims is facilitating "unsustainable rent inflation and placing additional pressure on tenants already struggling in the midst of an ongoing housing crisis". According to the Residential Tenancies Act 2004, the amount of rent charged to a tenant mustn't be greater than the market rent for that type of tenancy at that time. Councillor Lynch believes some landlords are benchmarking rents against short-term rental prices to charge more than they're legally allowed to.

Clare's opposition TD says greater focus needs to be placed on improving water infrastructure, rather than introducing what she calls "double taxation" in the form of water charges. Following reports that the Government was working on plans for "excessive water use charges", both the Taoiseach and Housing Minister have claimed the introduction of such charges is a Government priority. Sinn Féin Deputy Donna McGettigan claims leakage from old homes is the greatest cause of water loss in the country and Uisce Éireann should instead enhance their leakage reduction programme.

Schneider discusses the latest in the hostage talks as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seems to be showing a growing interest in connecting with hostage families and discussing negotiations, possibly as a result of incoming President-elect Donald Trump. She also looks at the visit of Housing and Construction Minister Yitzchak Goldknopf to sites in the Gaza Strip where he says he wants to reestablish Jewish settlements, and why an ultra-Orthodox Knesset minister would involve himself in that political storm. Bletter speaks about her visits in the last week to several northern communities and cities that were devastated by the last 14 months of war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, and what residents who were visiting their homes or stayed in the north have to say about the temporary ceasefire. Bletter also looks at Tel Aviv University research that could be promising in terms of treatment for aspects of a certain type of autism.

Rob discusses the challenges of housing supply in the UK, focusing on the reluctance to build new homes due to concerns about heritage and local impact. He highlights a specific case where a Labour MP objected to a 1,500 home project in his constituency, citing concerns about the impact on local heritage. Rob looks at the need to prioritise the supply side of housing economics, pointing out the various obstacles developers face, such as red tape, regulations, and public objections.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Housing shortage in the UK is viewed as a supply side issue, focusing on building more homes by opening up land, simplifying planning rules, and reducing friction in housing plans. Nimby attitude (Not In My Backyard) poses a challenge to building new homes, with concerns about economic impact and heritage preservation hindering development. Private developers face challenges such as high costs, red tape, ventilation regulations, and planning laws, which can lead to projects being rejected despite meeting requirements. The need for government intervention to streamline approval processes and prioritize housing development to address the housing crisis effectively. Collaboration between government, local councils, and developers is essential to overcome obstacles and ensure the successful approval and construction of new homes. BEST MOMENTS "We try not to look too much into the migration numbers, emigration numbers, immigration numbers, those sorts of numbers." "New homes need to be built. If we're going to attack the housing shortage that we have, and we're going to focus on the supply side economics of it, we need to build more homes." "You've got to make sure that that development makes cash end of." "You shouldn't then be allowing all these plans to be sat in the hands of councillors who then go, oh, yes, but it's going to impact the heritage." "I am interested to see what the Labour government does from a bringing everyone together point of view."

The Housing Minister is confident the harsher consequences for unruly Kāinga Ora tenants are working. Chris Bishop ordered the public housing agency to end the Sustaining Tenancies Framework in March this year, and strengthen management of disruptive tenants. Since then, 14 tenancies have been terminated - with another 25 applications awaiting decisions. Chris Bishop says putting up with disruptive behaviour is cruel for the 23,000 people on the waitlist for social housing. "Well you just go - at some level, there has to be consequences. And of course, once there are consequences, people start to change their behaviour. We're starting to see that, which is a good thing."
