The law
What changed in 2025 — and why it matters.
In June 2025, the Irish government designated all of Ireland as a Rent Pressure Zone. Previously, only certain urban areas were designated. Now every landlord in the country is subject to the annual rent cap.
Rent can only increase by the lower of 2% per year or the change in the HICP (Consumer Price Index). Any increase above this is unlawful and subject to RTB enforcement.
Fines for breaching the RPZ cap reach €15,000. The RTB actively investigates complaints from tenants.
Before June 2025
Only designated urban areas were RPZs. Rural landlords had no rent increase restrictions.
June 2025
All of Ireland designated as an RPZ. The 2%/year cap now applies nationwide.
With Ocupo
Your RPZ compliance status is calculated automatically from live CSO data. Green means you're safe.
How it works
Your rent vs. the RPZ cap — visualised.
Ocupo fetches the latest CSO rent index for your county and property type, then overlays your current rent against the legal ceiling.
Add your property
Enter your Eircode and Ocupo identifies your county, property type, and the applicable CSO rent band.
We fetch the live data
Ocupo queries the CSO PxStat API (table RIH02) for the latest quarterly rent index figures for your area.
Your chart updates automatically
The RPZ Compliance chart shows your rent history against the 2%/year cap. A red line means you need to review.
