Renting out properties now "makes no business sense" | TD & Landlord leaving the rental market clash

Muireann and Tommy are joined by Green Party TD Neasa Hourigan and Landlord Richard Quarry to react to the end to the moratorium on evictions.

Neasa tells Muireann and Tommy that this decision "will lead to a jump on homelessness figures."

"I think this will lead to children not having a roof over their head."

"I am so frustrated!"

She shows her disappointment in her Party Leader Eamon Ryan, stating that lifting the eviction ban "does not reflect Green Party values."

Tommy brings Landlord Richard Quarry as he explains why he has kept his two properties empty and is deciding to sell as it makes no "business sense" to rent them out.

Richard explains that some landlords have "a business on them," and that the policies put in place by government have made renting no longer profitable. He believes that the "pro-Tenant" legislation will reduce supply.

Do you think lifting the ban on evictions is a mistake? 🤔
