HowMuchRent.com Championing Transparency in the Rental Market

A New Era for Renters

The website HowMuchRent.com is championing a fairer and more transparent ecosystem for renters. Tenants openly share their rental experiences, building a database of historical rents and first-hand property insights. Given that rent is often the most significant monthly expense for individuals, HowMuchRent.com endeavours to provide renters with crucial context before making a new place a home. We are committed to preserving the narrative of countless rental stories, both positive and negative, that would otherwise remain untold.

Designed with Tenants in Mind

Unlike platforms that primarily serve landlords, HowMuchRent.com is built with the tenant at the forefront. We offer a comprehensive view of the rental market, featuring historical rental prices, detailed property reviews, and ratings. We invite everyone navigating the Irish rental market to join our mission of promoting transparency and accountability by contributing their reviews and rents to HowMuchRent.com Our dedication to fostering a culture of transparency aims to mitigate the challenges posed by less reputable participants in the Irish rental sector.

Focused Efforts on Rent Pressure Zones (RPZs)

Our efforts are particularly concentrated on Rent Pressure Zones (RPZs). We’ve identified over 1,000 properties charging rates over 2% in recent months, underlining our commitment to advocating for fair pricing. In an innovative move, we've transcribed over 15,000 Residential Tenancies Board judgements. This allows users to determine if a landlord or tenant has previously been involved in legal disputes, such as issues concerning deposit returns, evictions, or unpaid bills. While these reports are publicly available on the RTB website in PDF format(meaning that Google does not index the reports), we uniquely integrate them into our platform, making them accessible and viewable on HowMuchRent.com.

Advocating for Reform in Rental Charges and Deposit Handling

We firmly believe that rental charges and deposit handling require reform. We advocate for all rents charged by landlords to be public information and for tenants deposits to be held in escrow. The RTB was mandated to offer a Rental Deposit scheme 9 years ago(https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41315608.html), yet no action has been taken since. We continue to push for these changes to ensure a fairer rental market for all. Thanks for joining us.
