      Hiya folks
      I have looked this up and am just truying to confirm what I think
      If a house is rented in a RPZ and the tenant decides to leave, is there a limit on the rent for any subsequent new rental.


      For example: Mary rents a house at 500 euro a month. She moves out and it is put back up for rental. Is there a limit on the rental demand for any new tenant?


      Thanks in advance.

      Yes, there is a limit; RPZ restrictions on rent increases remain in effect even between tenancies. See this article from the RTB for a detailed explanation. You should use the RPZ calculator to determine the maximum rent amount you can charge the new tenant. Remember that you must provide the new tenant with the previous tenant's last rent amount, the date that rent was last set, and how you calculated the new tenant's rent based on those details and the RPZ rules. If you fail to provide that information and set their rent higher than allowed, they can bring you to the RTB and most likely get an order against you to refund any overpaid rent, and possibly additional damages.

      Wow. I can see why landlords are leaving the market. Thanks everyone. Some interesting information there.


      Cheers

      Having said that not every landlord if any will comply with all sections of the regulations ,just those that suit
