The latest Locked Out study is the first that did not find any properties affordable under standard HAP rates, with all available under discretionary rates
There were just 4 properties to rent in County Kildare within a 35% discretionary HAP limit, according to a new report.
The Simon Community has recorded the lowest number of rental properties available since it started collecting data seven years ago.
The charity's Locked Out Of The Market Report is an annual study of the rental market taken every quarter over three consecutive days.
In September this year, 392 properties were available to rent over three days, at any price, in 16 areas nationwide.
This represented a decrease of 40% from the 657 properties available to rent in June 2022 and a 62% drop from the 1,017 properties available in September 2021.
The latest Locked Out study is the first that did not find any properties affordable under standard HAP rates, with all available under discretionary rates.
Only 11 properties under the discretionary HAP rate were available for single people and couples, one was available in Kildare and Cork, and the remaining nine were available in the Dublin areas examined.
