Almost 90% of inspected rental properties in Cork city failed to meet minimum standards

Despite the high failure rate, the council did not deem any rental properties to be unsuitable for letting. The inspections occurred at a time when the average rent in Cork City had risen by over €100 in the past year to €1,389.07, an increase of 9.3%.
“It’s just another symptom of the ongoing housing crisis,” councillor Nugent said.
