Irish landlord seeks new common area fee for tenants

thejournal.ie

Ires Reit, a major landlord in Ireland, is attempting to charge new tenants a €200 monthly fee for common areas at The School Yard apartments, despite previously agreeing to drop a similar €150 charge after a tenant's challenge. The Residential Tenancies Board had ruled that the common area charge would not apply to a specific tenant, but Ires Reit is now pursuing this fee for new leases. This has drawn criticism from tenants and political figures, who argue it may violate rent increase regulations. The RTB has not issued a final ruling on these charges, leaving uncertainty about their legality. Tenants are encouraged to report any concerns to the RTB regarding potential breaches of rental laws.
