Rent Pressure Zones extended to end-2025 with 2% cap
The Rent Pressure Zone (RPZ) regime, which caps annual rent increases in designated areas at the lower of 2% or inflation, was extended to the end of 2025 by the Residential Tenancies (Amendment) Act 2023. An announced post-RPZ system in mid-2025 replaces RPZs with a national rent-cap framework from 2026 but without abolishing the 2% rule.
Who it affects: Tenants in RPZ-designated areas (most of Ireland); landlords in those areas.
