Rent increases, explained
Rent increases in Tipperary follow the same national rules as everywhere else in Ireland. The old Rent Pressure Zone map that varied county by county was dismantled on 28 February 2026, replaced by a single national system that applies to every private tenancy from 1 March 2026.
Capped at 2% or the rate of inflation (CPI), whichever is lower, once per year.
Only at the start of a new tenancy where the last tenant left voluntarily or breached their tenancy, or after a full 6-year tenancy cycle.
Never after a no-fault termination, such as a landlord selling up or moving in themselves. Tenancies that began before 1 March 2026 cannot reset to market rent at all.
If your area became a Rent Pressure Zone in the two years before the changeover, your landlord must still wait 24 months from that original designation before the first rent review under the new rules.

Common questions
Tipperary County Council covers the whole of Tipperary as a single local authority, so there is only one team to contact regardless of your address.
Rent Pressure Zones were replaced by a single national rent-control system on 1 March 2026. The same 2%-or-CPI cap on annual increases now applies in Tipperary as everywhere else in Ireland.
Tenant must first notify the landlord in writing and allow reasonable time to fix the issue; if unresolved, the tenant refers the matter to the Housing Authority, which carries out an inspection against the Housing (Standards for Rented Houses) Regulations 2019 and can escalate from an Improvement Letter/Notice to a Prohibition Notice preventing re-letting until breaches are remedied.
Not a permanent one. No permanent Threshold office found in Tipperary. National helpline: 1800 454 454. Citizens Information has 5 centres across the county.
