What is Cost Rental?
Cost Rental is a new form of long-term, sustainable home rental which is supported by the Department of Housing, Local Government, and Heritage.
Cost Rental is not-for-profit housing where the rent you pay covers the cost of the construction, management, and maintenance of your new home. Cost Rental offers you a long-term, secure tenancy that is more affordable.
At Tuath, we have delivered over 1,000 Cost Rental homes to date and we have managed to achieve rents that start at 25% below the average local area rent.
