View answerFollowing a recent rent review, the clients rent supplement of €670.00 per month was found to be in excess of the maximum limit determined by legislation in July 2013. The maximum rent limit applicable is €610.00 per month.
The client should endeavour to secure a rent reduction or locate alternative accommodation and forward a new application to the Mid Leinster Rents Unit, PO Box 11758, Dublin 24. The client’s rent supplement will remain in payment until the 31st August 2014 to allow time for this.
