    Question all related to signing a lease in the current environment. I'm moving into a new property end of April, lease has arrived. Is there a way of checking previous monthly rent paid by current tenant to ensure annual increase of 4% cap is being adhered to? Also if it has been a year since previous increase would landlord be breaking law to increase rent with measures announced on rent freeze by government in response to Cov-19?

    You think the young people doing the calls from UCD are going to waste time doing that? They are phoning hundreds, maybe thousands about a potentially deadly infectious disease, they are not checking living arrangements. Honestly, some of the stuff on here is mind bending.

    Its an additional risk from a public health viewpoint.

    I don't know what training they are getting but from a strictly public health viewpoint - it wouldnt surprise me if they were trained to flag up more then 5 at an address.

    You are not being serious I hope. You think the Dept of Health trained these guys to check whether they are complying with RTB/LA residential letting requirements? All in 2 weeks.

    It's nothing do do with tenancy requirements.

    It's everything do to with having limited living space and no ability to self-isolate if needed.

    Plenty ofvfamilybhomescwould have similar issues.

    If you go back a few posts you will see that this tangent of the thread started with a poster saying Landlords will be sweating this. I don’t see what impact this will have on the LL, I suspect many of these types of squat conditions arise without the LLs knowledge.
