Mournes councillor, Laura Devlin brought forward the proposal
A shortage of private rental homes is being made worse by an ‘Airbnb factor’ that is seeing landlords ignore tenants in favour of holiday lets, it has been claimed.
The motion read: “This council calls on the Communities Minister to immediately act and assist with the crisis within the private rented sector, which is particularly affecting our tourist towns and villages. “I know there has been the Airbnb factor here, where private landlords are selling up or turning towards holiday rents in favour of the more profitable tourism market,” said Cllr Devlin.“Some of these parents do not know what school their kids will be attending in September as they don’t know where they will be living.The motion received overall support in the chambers to regenerate town centres, with just some traffic concern raised by fellow Mournes councillor Glyn Hanna .
