Cork Evictions Surge Amid New Rental Rules | Cork News

Cork’s eviction crisis is hitting record levels—with 739 notices in just three months, a 41% spike from last year and the highest quarterly total nationwide. Blamed on new March 1st rental rules that let landlords set market rates, not just 2% increases, the policy has sparked backlash as charities like Threshold report soaring demand for help, with eviction the top reason renters turn to them. Homelessness in Cork has surged past 800 for the first time, and one in three calls to Threshold now comes from someone facing eviction—often triggered by a single life event like job loss or illness. While some see the rules as tenant protections, others insist real affordable housing must follow—or evictions and homelessness will keep climbing.
