Rental watchdog to target landlords suspected of breaching rent pressure zone rules

New legislation introduced during the summer brought the whole country under RPZ rules. However, the regulator has expressed concerns about increases in excess of these rules.

Ireland’s rental watchdog has launched a new campaign clamping down on landlords suspected of breaching rent pressure zone (RPZ) rules.

In the latest effort to ensure renters aren’t facing increases in excess of the legal limits, the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) said it would be contacting landlords where a potential breach has been identified.
