I heard that the Hotels are starting to refuse Council tenants as they're too much trouble. Wonder what plan Z is for the Council in that case.

You can earn €25k - €35k and qualify for social housing.
If you are in a low wage profession, how can you expect to get a mortgage?

Maybe you lower your expectations of what you get to choose from?

A working man complaining about his LL selling his own property.

Get over it ya wuss, start looking for another place to live.

If you don't like LLs selling your place, save a deposit and get yourself a mortgage like the rest of us

Dave started a new job and would not get a mortgage without min 6 months in a permanent role. so for 5 months he his in Limbo..

You can get a 3 bed house in Longford for €350. Grand and safe.

No he's not, he just gets somewhere else to rent. Plenty of property out there. Don't believe the stuff you hear on this show that there's nothing available.

By saving for a very long time like I'm doing

Seriously is €35k low enough for social housing?

NIMAN

Does Joe never allow the 2 sides of the argument on?

This whole show needs some balance.

Balance has arrived.

Imagine that. Non rent-supplement tenants can also be messy and dirty.

The average national wage is around €36k so that would mean roughly half the country would possibly be eligible.
