Waterford city drives most rental demand, with SETU students and tech-sector workers competing for a limited supply. A national rent cap applies since March 2026, limiting increases to the lower of 2% or inflation. Look at Tramore, Dungarvan or Ferrybank for better value or shorter commutes.
Rent may be reviewed once every 12 months. Use the rent increase checker to see whether a proposed increase is within the legal limit.
