He can't raise the rent for a year, he's taking the piss - http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/housing/renting_a_home/rent_increases.html

Just in regard to this, if my ll says she's increasing the rent and I say it cant be reviewed for a year but she says it was reviewed a year ago under the previous tenant can I get her to prove that or is it an unfortunate loophole?

The previous tenant has nothing to do with your tenancy*; she should have taken the opportunity to review the rent on the change of tenants.


*Assuming the landlord didn't do the paperwork with regards to a deed of re-assignment

beauf

The time to have checked out the BER situation was before you move in, not after.

When you moved in, was there a total change of tenants, or did you perhaps take over a room in a shared house with other people who had been there longer? What paperwork did you sign?

This is incorrect. All houses and apartments rented after January 1st 2009 require a BER cert to be compliant with the european directive.

I stand corrected. Thank you
