Commercial tenants receiving rent reductions of up to 29%

A NEW survey by the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland has found that the most common outcome of rent renegotiations between landlords and tenants was a rent reduction of between 20% and 29% in 2011.

Roland O’Connell, Vice President of the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland said that “the significant fall off in investment in the commercial market has a ripple effect on the wider economy. The country potentially loses out on foreign direct investment which can stimulate growth, create jobs and provide tax revenue to the exchequer”.

Mr O’Connell said that the debate has moved beyond whether the proposed legislation will be perceived as fair to tenants or landlords and is now a matter of Government making a prompt decision.
