apply for rent subsidy NOW - - fast and professional staff... Let me be clear on this - the maximum threshold for income is €23000 per annum as of Jan 2017 - nb this is single persons allowance OK. Please do not believe previous figures as they were prior to the changes that came into effect on the 1st Jan 2017
Got to be worth a punt and then a pint
Surprisingly good service and confirmation that €23K is the income threshold. It takes 3 months for searches to be done but payments are backdated.
There is a sliding scale - minimum is I think about €80 per month and maximum €160in rent subsidy benefit
One point to note is that the property you rent will need to be inspected by the housing authority in order to check it is to standard. This may not go down well with the landlord and begs the question are any standards enforced in the private rental market as there is NO regulation.

Toon lived here for some 6 years or more and knows what he is talking about, what he posts is of help to many newcomers on this Forum.
As far as I am aware you have been a member for a couple of months so if you have experiences to share I suggest you do so, if you have nothing useful to say then there is not much point in posting!
