All private tenancies and student-specific accommodation tenancies and licences in Ireland now come under Rent Pressure Zone rules.
Use the Rent Pressure Zone (RPZ) calculator to find out the maximum rent increase allowed for a tenancy. Landlords must check that a rent review is allowed for the dates they enter.
Reviewing rent in a new RPZ area
In an area that becomes an RPZ, the first rent review for a tenancy that existed in that area before it became an RPZ, can only take place two years after the last rent setting. That rent setting could be the date the tenancy started or the date of the last rent review. After your first rent review in an RPZ, you can review rent once every 12 months.

How to use the Rent Pressure Zone calculator
- Enter your address or Eircode to find out when your area became an RPZ.
- Enter details to calculate the rent increase. You will need:
- Current rent amount
- Date the last rent was set
- Date the new rent is set
- The RPZ calculator will show the maximum rent increase allowed.
If you need to check if a previous rent increase was correct, enter the rent details from the last rent setting or review.
