Landlord Legal Pack (Tenancy Agreement + Compliance Guide)

Our Landlord Legal Pack in Ireland gives private landlords a professionally drafted residential tenancy agreement together with a plain-English compliance guide to their obligations. It is for landlords letting a property who want the paperwork done properly and a clear summary of the rules that apply to them, including the rent-setting and review rules in force since 1 March 2026. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate before starting.

What’s included

• Professionally drafted Residential Tenancy Agreement (Residential Tenancies Act compliant)
• Choice of tenancy formats to suit your letting
• RTB registration guidance and checklist
• Explanation of the rent-setting and rent review rules that apply from 1 March 2026, with a rent review letter template
• Landlord obligations summary (repairs, notice periods, HAP obligations)
• Deposit rules and deduction guidance

RTB registration fees are not included in this pack.

Who this is for

This service is typically used by people in situations such as these:

• A first-time landlord letting out a property and unsure what paperwork is needed
• An experienced landlord who wants an up-to-date agreement reflecting the current rules
• Someone letting a property to HAP tenants who wants their obligations set out clearly
• A landlord who wants a reference guide to notice periods, deposits and RTB registration

Every matter is different, so a short questionnaire and a solicitor’s review would typically confirm that this service suits your circumstances before the work goes further. Please have your key details and documents to hand when you start, and if you are unsure whether this is the right service, say so in your enquiry so it can be discussed with you at the outset.

How it works

1. This service cannot be ordered here; to instruct a solicitor, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
2. Complete a short questionnaire with your details and the background to your matter.
3. A solicitor reviews your matter and prepares your tenancy agreement and compliance guide.
4. Your documents and any update are delivered to you by email within 3 to 5 working days.

Rental law in Ireland changed on 1 March 2026 and continues to develop, so the guide reflects the rules at the time it is prepared.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a landlord legal pack cost in Ireland?

This page is a free guide — nothing on it is for sale. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate (a section 150 letter) before starting. Get quotes through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.

Does the tenancy agreement reflect the March 2026 rule changes?

Yes. The agreement and the guide are prepared to reflect the residential tenancy rules that apply from 1 March 2026, including the rent-setting and review rules for your tenancy.

Do I still need to register with the RTB?

Yes. Landlords must register tenancies with the Residential Tenancies Board, and the pack includes registration guidance and a checklist. The registration fee itself is paid to the RTB.
