Ennis Local Electoral Area designated as Rent Pressure Zone
Clare County Council has welcomed the announcement by Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien TD, that Ennis Local Electoral Area has been designated as a Rent Pressure Zone (RPZ) effective from 31st August, 2023.
As a designated RPZ, rent increases on private rental tenancies within the area are limited to a maximum of 2% per annum, and this applies to both existing tenancies and those being re-let on the market. There are some exemptions including properties new to market, properties that have not been let in the previous two years, and properties that have undergone a substantial change in the nature of accommodation. Existing tenancies within the RPZ are still subject to the existing 24-month certainty measure until the next rent review is due.
Full details on RPZs for both tenants and landlords are available on the Residential Tenancies Board website at: www.rtb.ie/rent-pressure-zones
