The owner of the property will retain responsibility for structural maintenance, structural insurance and structural repair.

The person(s) allocated the property in the case of houses and the Management Company in the case of apartments.

The management fees remain the responsibility of the owner of the property.

 

Properties must be of a very good to excellent standard and condition. 

During the negotiation process the Council will arrange an inspection of 

the property to ascertain its suitability for inclusion under lease 

arrangements. It will be inspected to confirm that the property meets 

very high structural and decorative standards. Properties must comply 

with the Housing (Standards for Rented Houses Regulations 2008) and 

also with all planning and Building Regulation.

Once it is within the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council administrative area the Council will accept your application.

Within one week. The property will be inspected and if deemed suitable for leasing by our inspection the Council will then enter into negotiations with you in respect of rental terms.

Yes. However payments may be terminated in circumstances where a landlord is in breach of his/her obligations under the term of the lease 

agreement.

The lease would be for 10 to 20 years and will be agreed between the owner and the Council.

No. Under the long term leasing arrangement the property can be sold by the property owner during the term but only on the condition that the lease agreement is transferred to the new owner and the Local Authority is notified in advance and is in agreement.

 

Applicants will be allocated from the Council‟s Housing Allocations list.

 

In some instances the property owner may agree with the Local Authority to include an "option to purchase‟ and/or a “right of first refusal” as a condition of the lease. These clauses give the Local Authority the option to buy the property at intervals during or at the end of the lease or oblige the owner to first offer the property to the Council should he/she decide to sell. Both parties must be in agreement to include this condition and the specific terms must be negotiated.

 

The Council will determine the assessment of need for housing in line with the Council's 'Sustainable Communities Objectives'. It would then be subject to the suitability of your property to meet our needs and the condition of your property, agreement of rent,  production of the various pieces of information requested e.g. BER Cert and conditions of lease.

Yes. Written consent is required from your lender.

 

The rent equal to 80% of the current market rent.

 

The Council will require a description of the property as well as documents such as the BER (Building Energy Rating), Valid Tax Clearance Certificate and Bank details. Proof of ownership will also be a requirement as will permission for the lender if applicable. A full list of required documents will be provided to the owner in advance of signing of lease.

Every 3-4yrs in accordance with the lease agreement, even if rents go up or down.

The rent will be paid quarterly in advance by electronic transfer directly into a bank account. Please note that, if the owner is living outside or Ireland, the rental income is subject to withholding tax. Further details on this aspect are available on www.revenue.ie.
