How are rent increases calculated?

Rent increases are calculated according to the law in the country where your apartment is located. We cannot simply choose any new amount.

England

An increase through the statutory process must follow the notice & timing rules. You can challenge a proposed increase if it exceeds the open-market rent for a comparable home. There is no general fixed percentage cap for ordinary private rents in England.

Dublin

Our Dublin development follows Ireland’s national rent-control rules. Annual increases are generally limited to 2% or CPI inflation, whichever is lower. The RTB provides a calculator for working out the lawful maximum.

What we consider

• The current rent & date it was last set.
• The applicable legal limits & notice period.
• Relevant market comparisons, where required or permitted.
• The correct calculation for that tenancy.

Different apartments in one building may have different starting rents, but that does not override an existing tenant’s protections.

We will explain the basis of any increase in the required notice. See the English guidance or RTB rent controls.
