Cost Rental is a new, secure form of rental housing tenure in Ireland, designed for people whose income means they don’t qualify for social housing or other support, such as HAP, but who still struggle to rent on the open market. All Cost Rental homes have their rents set at a minimum level of 25% below the local market rents. The rents in Cost Rental homes are set to cover the cost of construction, maintenance, and operation of the development, ensuring long-term affordability for residents.
To be eligible to rent one of these new Cost Rental homes, applicants must be able to prove:

• Their net household income is below €66,000 per year
• They are not receiving any social housing supports, such as HAP or Rent Supplement
• They can afford the rent
• They don’t own a property
• The household is the correct size for the home

These new Cost Rental homes were delivered by Clúid in partnership with South Dublin County Council, and with the support of the Department of Housing, Heritage and Local Government, The Housing Agency and the Housing Finance Agency. They were developed by Mableground Ltd with Glenbrier Construction as the main contractor.
