What are the rent increase rules for a private tenancy in Kildare?

A RentWise Team Answered by

Kildare is covered by Ireland’s rent-control rules, so a landlord generally cannot increase rent by more than 2% or the rate of inflation, whichever is lower. A rent review can normally take place only once every 12 months, and the landlord must give at least 90 days’ notice in the required form. Different rules may apply to a newly created tenancy or certain substantially renovated properties. Check the RTB’s current guidance, as the applicable rules can depend on when the tenancy began and its specific facts.
