The DSBA Property Committee is delighted to present our first in person CPD in 2023 on Monday, 24 April in The Radisson Hotel, Golden Lane, Dublin 8. We have secured 4 excellent speakers, making this a seminar not to be missed.

Michael Broderick, CEO of First Home Scheme, will explain how the scheme operates, the qualification criteria and the application process.

Deirdre Fahy from the Revenue Commissioners will guide us through the Help to Buy Scheme and provide an update on residential property taxes to include LPT and the new Vacant Homes Tax.

Úna Cassidy and Jennifer Ring will discuss topical issues in the residential rental sector to include:

Tenancies of “unlimited duration”.

Uplifting of the eviction ban – what this means for termination of tenancies where:

Notices of Termination were served during the moratorium; and

Notices of Termination are served in the future.

Restrictions on advance payments of rent and deposits.

Rent setting and rent pressure zones (“RPZ caps”).

Consideration of the decision in Wow Investments Limited v. RTB, where reliance on requisitions on title proved an inadequate defence to breach of RPZ caps.
