93. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if she will review the amount of rent supplement paid in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare in view of the fact that their landlord refuses to decrease the monthly rent paid any further; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24888/13]
View answerThe person concerned has been made aware of the rent limit since November 2012 and permitted to remain in her current property at a higher rent limit until the expiration of her lease in May 2013 in order to negotiate with the landlord or find alternative accommodation – no exceptional circumstances have been presented to the Department in relation to the person concerned. The Department has been in contact with this person on numerous occasions during that six month period and the Department continues to be in contact with the person concerned.
