Options for Landlords

Do you currently own a property that is available to Rent?

Ever considered Leasing to the Council?

Now is your opportunity to enter into a Long Term Leasing Agreement with the assurance of guaranteed monthly rent and no property/tenant management duties!

Louth Local Authorities is looking for property owners in Louth who are interested in leasing their property for 5 – 25 years to contact them. The properties will be used to provide housing for people who need it. We are seeking two, three and four bedroom houses and apartments in areas where there is a general demand for housing, mainly in urban areas i.e. towns and villages throughout the County.

If you own a residential property and would be interested in leasing it for 5 years or more, you will:

·         Be assured of guaranteed monthly rent paid in advance

·         Avoid losing rent during vacant periods

·         Have no worries about managing or maintaining the property

·         Escape the hassle of dealing with tenant issues

·         Avoid advertising costs.

·         Be exempt from the second home tax (NPPR)

·         Have no PRTB registration fees

A number of options are available including social leasing for periods from 5 to 25 years and use of the Rental Accommodation Scheme for periods of up to 5 years.

Feel free to contact the Council by telephone on 042 9332276 or by email at leasing@dundalktown.ie
