Rents in Louth have risen by 8.5% in the last year, according to the latest rental report from property website Daft.ie.
The report found that the average rent paid in the Wee County now stands at €689 with the year-on-year increase the fourth largest in the country outside of Dublin after Kildare (13.5%), Wicklow (12.9%) and Meath (10.9%).
Louth is also the seventh most expensive county to rent in nationwide after Dublin, Cork, Galway, Wicklow, Kildare and Meath.
Every county in the country experienced an increase in rents in the last year, largely as a result of dwindling stock which is now at its lowest figure since May 2007.
