    Hi I have seen on a few threads that DCC are willing to pay LL deposit and two months rent upfront as an incentive to take HAP tenants. Can someone please tell me where can I find more information on this? a link would be great :)

    thanks

    If that is going on you won't find a link to it, because it shouldn't be going on.

    I'd put it down to pub talk. More than likely not true.

    I am not sure if the tenant paid the 2 months rent & deposit or the council.

    It's 100% true.
    I took my current tennant on HAP.
    Only reason I took her in HAP is because she was a 2 year tennant in another house of mine that I was taking back for personal use.

    HAP paid me 1 months deposit and 2 months up front back in April. There's a big back log and the paper work wasn't finished in July so they paid me July and august up front also while waiting for the paperwork to get finalized in the central office in Limerick i believe.

    I can also verify DCC pay deposit and 2 months rent in advance. I had a new tenant move in. Completed landlord portion of the HAP form for him on the Thursday and had deposit and 2 months rent in my bank by the following Tuesday.

    I don't see why people have a problem with this. Otherwise DSP tenants can't compete with private tenants. Private tenants should pay 2 months as well, too often tenants use deposit as last months rent.

    Dublin CC gives the 2 months rent up front, as otherwise there's no incentive to take someone on HAP.

    Hi All
    Someone can explain to me how the HAP is calculated.
    Property cost 1800 p/m.
    Incoming 730e p/w
    Minimum HAP 1250e.
    1 child.
