How often can my rent be reviewed or increased?

Rent can normally be reviewed or increased no more than once every 12 months at our build-to-rent developments, subject to the laws applying to your tenancy.

For apartments in England

For assured periodic tenancies, a rent increase cannot take effect during the first 12 months of a new tenancy. Later increases must use the statutory process, normally with at least two months’ notice.

For Docklands Living in Dublin

The national Irish rent-control system also normally allows reviews once every 12 months. The permitted annual increase for our Dublin apartments is generally capped at 2% or the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), whichever is lower.

We will not increase rent merely because the building’s facilities change or because neighbouring apartments are advertised at a different price. A review must comply with the applicable rules.

You will receive the required notice before an increase takes effect. Read the English rent increase guidance or Irish rent review rules for details.
