Long term Lease Information
Department of Environment, Heritage & Local Government Explanatory information for Property Owners: Leasing Arrangements The Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government has established a new leasing initiative for the delivery of social housing. This new initiative represents an expansion of the options for the delivery of social housing. Local Authorities have been requested by the Department of the Environment Heritage and Local Government (DoEHLG) to consider proposals from property owners in line with this new initiative. Submissions are now being sought by Local Authorities from property owners for the provision of suitable houses/apartments for occupation by its social housing applicants. Submissions will only be considered from owners who can provide a minimum of 5 properties. Local Authorities will enter into lease agreements with property owners for a period of between 10 and 20 years, with the terms and condition of each lease to be agreed.

NPPR and Household Charge
NPPR
Further to the Budget of 2012, I wish to advise you that The Non-Principal Private Residence charge introduced in the Local Governments (Charges) Act, 2009 originally excluded RAS and leased properties from this liability. However, the Local Government (Household Charge) Act, 2011 has amended the 2009 Act and these exclusions no longer apply. This means that owners of both RAS and leased properties are liable for the NPPR charge for 2012 onwards.
Household Charge
The new Household Charge which was introduced in the Local Government (Household Charge) Act, 2011 will also be a liability for owners of RAS properties. There is no exemption from this charge and the legislation is clear that the responsibility to pay is with the owner.
Both charges can be paid at your Local Authority Finance Section or online at www.nppr.ie and www.householdcharge.ie
