Information for property owners and landlords

The Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) is a form of social housing support operated by Local Authorities and involves a three-way relationship between a property owner, Dublin City Council, and a tenant. Under the scheme, private rented properties provide an additional source of good quality rental accommodation for eligible tenants.

Benefits of the Rental Accommodation Scheme for landlords

There are a number of benefits for landlords once involved with RAS, such as:

  1. The landlord will receive prompt payments directly from Dublin City Council for the duration of the Rental Accommodation Scheme contract.
  2. The landlord will still receive rental payments during any vacancy periods.
  3. There will be no need to employ a rent collection service.
  4. Tenants are sourced on the landlord’s behalf, saving on advertising costs.

Landlords who rent to tenants in receipt of RAS, may also avail of increased tax relief. Property owners may claim up to 100% relief on their mortgage interest, as an expense against rental income. Further information is also available from the Revenue Commissioners on www.revenue.ie.- Opens in new window
