Monthly rental costs rose by over 7% in the final quarter of last year.
Renters should be able to see what a previous tenant paid before signing a lease on a new home.
The Labour party is demanding a rent register be set up, and its wider Renters Rights Bill is published.
Monthly rental costs rose again by 7.6% in the final three months of last year according to figures from the Residential Tenancy Board.
Rents in the midlands rose by over 2% in the fourth quarter of 2022 - the average cost is now €1,036.
Labour leader Ivana Bacik says not enough is being done being left with no choice but to keep pay more and more each month to rent a home:
