Protections for renters who have lost income as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic are to be extended until January, Minister for Housing Darragh O’Brien has said.
“I’ve a concern about the legal basis that it’s constructed on and that it could be open to a challenge,” he said. “They will be able to self declare under this Bill and they will get effective protections up to January next year. In all other instances, the normal process will apply. “I need to make sure that the most vulnerable people during this pandemic are actually protected, balancing that with the rights of property owners too, and I’m pretty happy that this Bill will achieve that.”
