Howdy people !
Like so many of us I am now out of work and eating into my savings and will not qualify for social welfare for another six~eight weeks . I'd like to talk with another poster who has run the gauntlet of getting benefits .

My main concern is moving to a new rented place in Balbriggan and being able to negotiate the rent with a new landlord. Looking down the road to the next budget cuts along with welfare cuts etc .. I'm in limbo as to what will happen.. Does anyone know off hand what the rent allowance is for Balbriggan or in other words the rent cap for the area...Much appreciate a reply .. thanks in advance...

OP - You should also check out the State Benefits forum. You may get some useful advice over there.

there is a lot of vacant property there due to recent boom. my sis rented out there recently and was happy with the rent she got.

As with renting out any property people will always try and beat you down on price.

but if its the sake of lowereing your price by a hundred euro or spending another 1200 on a mortgage payment it all levels out.

best thing to look on daft.ie or any renting site and see what people are willing to pay.

Tzetze you can go to the top of the class for Citizen Information, thank you.

The cap works out for my situation Co Dublin (couple with one child) 930 Euro per month Rent Allowance plus my contribution of 104 euro per month . Now that's not bad .... Okay ... Now all I need is a property with a sea view..
