Question 1

How do I check if my rent review is compliant with RTB rules?

Accepted Answer

Enter your tenancy details including start date, current rent, proposed rent, and whether the property is in a Rent Pressure Zone. Our rules engine checks against all current requirements including the 12-month minimum interval, 90-day notice period, and RPZ rent caps.

Question 2

What changed in Irish rental law in March 2026?

Accepted Answer

From 1 March 2026, Rent Pressure Zones were replaced by a national rent control system capping increases at 2% or CPI. Tenancies of Minimum Duration (TMD) replaced Part 4 tenancies with 6-year cycles. Termination grounds now depend on landlord size (1-3 vs 4+ tenancies).

Question 3

How much notice must a landlord give to terminate a tenancy in Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Notice periods depend on tenancy duration: 90 days for less than 6 months, up to 336 days for 7+ years. Special shorter periods apply for rent arrears (28 days) and anti-social behaviour (7 days). The notice must be served on the RTB on the same day.

Question 4

Is RTB Compliance Checker free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all compliance checks and document generation tools are completely free. No account or payment required.

Question 5

Can a large landlord terminate a tenancy for sale after March 2026?

Accepted Answer

No. From 1 March 2026, landlords with 4 or more registered tenancies can only terminate for tenant-fault grounds (breach, rent arrears, anti-social behaviour) or if the property no longer suits the tenant's needs. Sale, refurbishment, and own-use grounds are restricted to small landlords.
