Enter your current rent, the proposed new rent and when your rent was last reviewed, and see whether the increase fits the national rent control system that has applied across Ireland since 1 March 2026.
Increases are capped at the lower of 2% per year or CPI inflation, and rent can normally be reviewed once every 12 months. New apartments and student accommodation where construction commenced from 10 June 2025 are capped at CPI only, without the 2% limit. Some new tenancies from 1 March 2026 can be reset to market rent in limited cases.
The result is a guide, not legal advice. For the exact figures and notice requirements that apply to your tenancy, see rtb.ie.
