As a followup to my last story, over the weekend, I dived into the stats:
I have mapped out 250,000 plus properties that have registered with the government/RTB. It provides insights into where people rent, hence I have done a breakdown per county and nationwide.
Each County heatmap(top map), can be zoomed down, to see the actual RTB property registered.
Please share with your friends, and tell them about Howmuchrent.com, which I built for Rental Transparency.
Howmuchrent.com: Every Renter has a story to tell about their place. Add your story to the map.

256559 Properties Registered with the Residential Tenancies Board mapped out + number of bedrooms
As part of my drive for Rental Transparency in Ireland, I mapped all the properties registered with the RTB: https://www.howmuchrent.com/r/rtb_verified . It cost me over 1000 Euro to do this, and I hope you find it useful. This gives the first insight into where people are registered to rent.
Every Renter has a story to tell about their place. Add your story to HowMuchRent.com. Read reviews tenants left of their place, and past prices charged for properties.

PS
Taking effect from 04 April 2022, a landlord is obliged to apply to the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) to register a tenancy - or a licence in Student Specific Accommodation (SSA) - within 1 month of its commencement date and every year after this, on the anniversary of the date the tenancy began, for so long as the tenancy/SSA licence exists.

Website for Rental Transparency in Ireland for renters: Rents charged by landlords should be made public
Been building https://www.howmuchrent.com. During the summer, I realised I had no information on what rates tenants were paying before my occupancy, and if what I was paying, was fair. On the site, renters can add their past/current rents, and see what historical prices landlords are charging for accommodation. Also, you can see which areas have rent increasing/decreasing. This site puts this information into your hands. Especially when people from abroad move into an area, they do not know what is considered fair rent for that area.
It's time for a fairer rental market, starting with you!

There is indeed an industry, are they without their issues? No. Are they needed? Yes. There's also a whole industry that profits off of homeless people, many with sub par and unsafe accommodation that are the reason many of those in tents are there - Cllr Chris Pender
