爱尔兰提议更频繁地提高学生住房的租金,以缓解短缺问题,引发对负担能力的反弹。 Ireland proposes more frequent rent hikes for student housing to ease shortage, sparking backlash over affordability.

爱尔兰高等教育部建议允许私人学生住房提供者更经常地提高房租,以促进发展和缓解住房短缺,从而有可能在2029年之前增加两笔租金。 The Irish Department of Higher Education proposes allowing private student housing providers to raise rents more often to boost development and ease a housing shortage, potentially enabling two additional rent increases before 2029. 这一举动引发了AMLE等学生团体的批评,这些团体警告说,不断上涨的成本已经迫使学生辍学或断绝饭食,理由是缺乏其他选择和由有限选择驱动的利润。 The move has sparked criticism from student groups like AMLÉ, which warn rising costs are already forcing students to drop out or skip meals, citing lack of alternatives and profits driven by limited choices. 虽然政府说新的住宿战略将确保公平和可持续性, 批评者则认为私营部门的依赖性无法解决可负担性和可用性的根本原因。 While the government says a new Accommodation Strategy will ensure fairness and sustainability, critics argue private sector reliance fails to address root causes of affordability and availability. 该提案仍在审查之中。 The proposal remains under review.
