1 in 5 people are now living in rental accommodation in this country.
But the latest figures from the Residential Tenancies Board also show that prices are continuing to rise.
Rents went up by 8.6 per cent between July and September, compared to the same time last year.
Kieran McQuinn, Research Professor at the ESRI, compiled the data and says there's a shift in where the increase is coming from…as rents are also increasing outside of Dublin now in addition to the capital city.
