Ireland proposes more frequent rent hikes for student housing to ease shortage, sparking backlash over affordability.
The Irish Department of Higher Education proposes allowing private student housing providers to raise rents more often to boost development and ease a housing shortage, potentially enabling two additional rent increases before 2029.
The move has sparked criticism from student groups like AMLÉ, which warn rising costs are already forcing students to drop out or skip meals, citing lack of alternatives and profits driven by limited choices.
While the government says a new Accommodation Strategy will ensure fairness and sustainability, critics argue private sector reliance fails to address root causes of affordability and availability.
The proposal remains under review.
