Meath was covered by Rent Pressure Zone rules in designated areas, but from 20 June 2025 national rent control applies instead. For most private tenancies, rent can generally be reviewed only once every 12 months and the increase is capped at the lower of inflation or 2%, subject to specific legal exceptions. Your landlord must follow the required notice and rent-setting procedure, and the exact position can depend on when and how your tenancy began. Check the latest guidance on gov.ie or the RTB website; any dispute is ultimately decided through the RTB process or by a solicitor.
