Cost Rental Homes
Eligibility
Could I Be Eligible?
To apply for a Cost Rental home, you must meet the following criteria:
Your net household income must be below €66,000 per year.
You are not receiving social housing supports.
You do not own a property.
Your household size matches the size of the home available.
Your household income is sufficient to meet the cost of the rent.
Only one application per household can be made for each advertised property.
How Is Household Income Calculated?
Your net household income is the combined take-home income of everyone in your household aged 18 or over. This means income after deductions such as Income Tax, PRSI, USC and pension contributions.
We generally take income from employment, self-employment, pensions, investments, maintenance payments and most social welfare payments into account when assessing eligibility. Some support payments, including Child Benefit, Carer's Allowance and Fuel Allowance, are not included in this calculation.
If you are unsure whether you meet the income criteria, we encourage you to apply. All applications are assessed individually and supporting documentation will be reviewed as part of the application process.
