Tenants affected by the recent rent controversy in Dundalk are set to be given four week’s free rent by Dundalk Town Council.

The local authority has also committed to painting the front of the homes of those affected as a means of making up for the hassle of the last few weeks. No idea of cost has been given to estimate how much the waiving of a month’s rent and painting will cost.

Last month it emerged that some tenants in the town were being told they were in arrears on the rent, despite them having receipts to show they were fully paid up.

An investigation was subsequently launched by Dundalk Town Council, with a member of staff suspended pending its outcome.
