Why did rents just see a massive increase?

New figures suggest the rental market could be experiencing historic levels of strain. Rents surged by 4.4% between December and March, marking the largest quarterly increase on record for the Daft.ie series. We’re joined by Michael Byrne, Associate Professor at the School of Social Policy, Social Work and Social Justice at University College Dublin, and author of Beyond Generation Rent, to examine how tied this rise is to recent rent reforms - and what, if anything, could help to reverse the situation.
