Is Kildare a Rent Pressure Zone and what does that mean for rent increases?

A RentWise Team Answered by

Yes. Kildare has been designated as a Rent Pressure Zone, although the rules applying to rent increases can depend on the tenancy type, when it began and the legislation in force at the time. A landlord generally must follow the applicable rent-setting limits and give the tenant the required notice, but the exact calculation should be checked against the current RTB guidance. RentWise is an independent information site, so check the RTB or gov.ie for the latest position, or speak to a solicitor if you are disputing a proposed increase.
