    Hi all,

    I'm going to be applying for rent allowance and was wondering how much of the rent it would cover?

    Is it a fixed rate or a percentage of the rent paid?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi folks,

    I am renting in a shared accommodation in Dublin and have been for several years now. The limit for a single person in a shared accommodation is 390 per month and as I was recently made redundant my landlord has thankfully agreed to reduce my rent in order to be in line with the limits set by the HSE.

    I am just wondering if anyone would know if I need to be renting for the required period of 6months at a cost of less than or equal to 390 or is this limit only necessary in going forward from the date of your rent supplement application?

    The reason I ask is that I have been paying rent for slightly greater than 390 and I am worried that I will be refused because of this.

    Any help on this matter would be great!
    Thanks a mill
