Online applications for 90 new cost rental homes in Dublin’s Tallaght are set to open later this week.
The two-bed apartments are located at Airton Plaza in Tallaght and were delivered by approved housing body (AHB) Clúid Housing in partnership with South Dublin County Council.
At a monthly rent of €1,715 per month, the apartments are available at a 27pc discount compared to similar homes in the same area. Applications will open on Wednesday, January 15 at 9am and close on Wednesday, January 29 at 5pm.
One-bed and three-bed apartments in the development have already been allocated, as have a number of the two-bed apartments, following an initial application process in November. Residents are set to move into these apartments coming weeks.
Life-long tenancies are on offer with the apartments, along with “high-quality, responsive management and maintenance”. The development at Airton Plaza also includes commercial and retail units, a creche and outdoor communal space and a play area for children.
Applicants to rent one of these cost rental apartments must be able to prove:
“These fabulous homes in Airton Plaza, Tallaght, are proving very popular. We are re-opening applications to complete the letting of 90 two-bed apartments,” Clúid Housing’s CEO Brian O’Gorman said.
“This will give 90 households who missed out on applying last time the opportunity for a high-quality, secure, long-term home at a fair rent. We urge anyone who is interested in living in one of these homes to check their eligibility and apply online at www.cluid.ie.”
Cost rental housing is designed for people whose incomes means they do not qualify for social housing or other schemes like the housing assistance payment (HAP), but will struggle to rent on the open market.
Cost rental homes have rents set at least 25pc below market value in the local area and the rents are set to cover, construction, maintenance and the operation of the development in order to ensure long-term affordability for residents.
