DESPITE reports of landlords fleeing the rental market, the number of tenancies recorded in Limerick has grown steadily over the past year.
That’s according to new data from the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB), which showed almost 9,000 registered tenancies across Limerick at the end of the first quarter of this year.
These numbers have grown steadily from 8,101 in Q2 2023, 8,244 in Q3 2023, and 8,531 in Q4 2024, ending out at 8,723 by the end of Q1 2024.
The figure places Limerick with the fourth highest number of registered tenancies in Ireland, behind Dublin (99,630), Cork (25,041), and Galway (13,139).
The lowest number was recorded in Leitrim with just 1,128 registered tenancies as of the end of Q1 this year.
The data does not include lets not registered with the RTB.
