Tenants in Kildare generally have the same protections as tenants elsewhere in Ireland, including rights to minimum accommodation standards, privacy, lawful rent changes and proper notice before an eviction. Your landlord should register the tenancy with the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB), follow the rules on deposits and provide required notices in writing. Rent-increase rules can depend on the tenancy type, start date and current legislation, so check the latest guidance on gov.ie. If you believe your rights have been breached, the RTB can deal with many disputes; a solicitor or Threshold may also help with case-specific advice.
