DCU calls for regulation of private student housing rental sector


The president of DCU is calling on policy makers to take action to help control the escalating rental cost of student housing. Professor Brian MacCraith made the call in the wake of rental increases of up to 27 per cent recently imposed by private providers on purpose-build student accommodation used by DCU students. “The primary driver of the escalating costs for student accommodation is that demand is now far outstripping supply. If regulation and supply are not addressed student accommodation costs will invariably continue to increase,” he said. He said the cost of on-campus accommodation to students “is very favourable, and of a superior standard”, when compared to private rental accommodation.
