Rent Review

Detailed guidance on reviewing rent under the Residential Tenancies Act 2025 and the National Rent Control rules introduced in 2026 will appear on this page shortly.

What will be covered

This section will set out, in practical terms:

• When a Notice of Rent Review may lawfully be served.
• The 2% per annum cap and how it interacts with inflation.
• The requirement to identify three comparators from the RTB Rent Register — even where the proposed increase is at or below the cap.
• The minimum 90-day notice period before any new rent takes effect.
• Rent Pressure Zone exemptions and how they are properly invoked.
• Common errors that render a Notice of Rent Review invalid.
