    Quick question, is rent a room subject to the RPZ regulations? I'm 99% sure it's not but can't find any site backing that up!

    If the landlord is living in the dwelling the RPZ does not apply.

    RPZs apply to tenancies, rent a room is not a tenancy nor is it subject to any tenancy laws so it simply can't be part of the RPZ rules.

    Can someone advise me. I am a landlord of a three bed house in a new RPZ, renting it out room by room - i dont live there myself.
    I had a tenant since July 2016 renting one of the rooms for 250pm, that has just left. I want to rent this room out again, but want the market value, approx €320pm
    Since this is a new new tenant, do i need to follow the RPZ calculator? And if so, what inputs would be correct for the calculator?

    For a new tenant, the rent can be put up immediately regardless of when the previous tenant's last rent review took place, but only by 4% from what the previous tenant was last paying, so you can increase it to €260 for a new tenant now. You can perform a rent review 12 months after your new tenant's tenancy begins and increase it by another 4% at that time, and again each year thereafter (until the rules change again).

    It can go up more than 4% how much depends on the dates exactly. If the previous tenant started on 01/01/2016 then the rent can go to 285.
