    I was unfortunate enough to receive a letter from my landlord stating that my rent was going to increase by €300 in August. I have been living in the property since before Christmas 2015. Is she legally able to do this? It's going to be hard to stretch any further.

    Thanks for your help

    Think you ll need to supply more info than that if people are going to be able to help. Location, rpz, previous rent would all help

    In the absence of information to the contrary- and you've not given us any information which would preclude the rise- providing the proposed increase is in keeping with market rent for the area- then, yes, its allowable (providing you're not in a RPZ- however, you haven't said that you are).
