This research, commissioned by Threshold and Housing Rights, examines the lived reality of renting across the island of Ireland, aiming to equip decision-makers, advocates and practitioners with robust evidence to support effective action.
By combining statistical findings with qualitative testimonies, the research reveals a lived experience of renters, grounded in data and hard evidence.
We conducted two large representative public opinion polls of renters in the private rental sector. One of those was in the Republic of Ireland (ROI), and the other was in Northern Ireland (NI), combined with in-depth qualitative interviews to produce a comparative study of renting in ROI and NI.
Together, these methods provide a detailed and comparative picture of renting experiences across the two jurisdictions.
