Dublin has been named the fifth most expensive European city to rent in.

The report, which was compiled by ECA International, found the average rent for a three bedroom home in the capital stands at over €3,600  per month.

But the rising cost of rent was slightly curtailed by the pandemic, rising 2.2% in 2020 compared with a 6% rise the previous year.

For the co-founder of the Dublin Renters Union Peter Dooley, the pandemic hasn’t eased the situation on the ground.

He says evictions are taking place despite the temporary ban.

Dublin’s prices surpass that of Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam.

The report points to tight building restrictions and the popularity of the city for business as contributing factors for the high rental costs.
