Offaly's rental market runs through Tullamore, Birr and Edenderry. Rents are modest and supply is limited. Tullamore's rail connection to Dublin drives most demand. Check heating type on older rural stock and confirm any Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) arrangements with the local authority.
Since 1 March 2026, a national rent control system applies across Ireland, including Offaly. Rent increases are capped at the lower of 2% per year or the general rate of inflation, and rent may be reviewed once every 12 months.
