SINN FÉIN HAS today published legislation that would make seeking sex for rent, or advertising such arrangements an offence under the Residential Tenancies Act.
His Bill seeks to make an amendment to the Residential Tenancies Act, making it an offence under Section 19 of the Act for a landlord to seek sex in lieu of rent or to advertise for such arrangements. In February 2022, Social Democrats TD Cian O’Callaghan, the party’s housing spokesperson, tabled the Ban on Sex For Rent Bill.This would have created an offence of requiring or accepting sex as a condition of accommodation, with penalties of up to seven years in prison or a €50,000 fine.“They let it go to committee stage and then it was killed off at committee stage.
“The work is being done, it is being looked at as. It is part of my zero tolerance strategy to address this particular issue.”
