Rent Pressure Zones now a firmly established national policy

One of the key protections that have been brought in by the Government while they grapple with the overall problem of acute supply has been the introduction of the Rent Pressure Zones (RPZs). 

Even as inflation in Ireland edges towards 7%, landlords are still bound by the regulations regarding homes in RPZs, which prevent rents from rising by more than 2% per annum.
