The latest report compiled by Daft.ie into the current home rental market in Ireland, shows rents across the Northern Sound region have increased by 20% compared to the same period last year.
The new figures compiled by Trinity College economist Ronan Lyons for the property website, shows rents increased by 10.7% nationally, meaning tenants in Roscommon, Cavan, Leitrim, Longford and Monaghan are experiencing double the increase of those in other areas across the country.
Ronan Gargan has been speaking to Ronan about the findings of todays daft report and he started my conversation with Ronan by highlighting that this massive increase in rents locally is compared to this time last year.
