Property Advice: How will the new rental rules impact my property?

Hi Majella, 

I let out a property in Cork City three years ago for €1,000 a month, which I thought was fair at the time. I didn’t realise I’d be locked into that rent long-term, especially now that similar homes are renting for €1,900. Am I really limited to 2% rent increases per year? Will the rules change in 2026?
