Guide only — this matter needs a solicitor. Under Irish law this work must be carried out by a solicitor, so it is not sold on this site. The information below explains what is involved so you can brief a solicitor with confidence.
OnlineLegalServices.ie is operated by Plus Promotions Limited, which is not a solicitor’s practice and does not give legal advice. To instruct a regulated practice, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
Our rent review letter service in Ireland is a professionally drafted rent review notice for landlords who want to increase the rent correctly under the rules that apply to their tenancy. The rules on rent reviews changed on 1 March 2026, and a notice that gets the calculation or the wording wrong can be referred to the RTB. We calculate the permitted increase, draft the notice in the wording the RTB expects to see, and send it back to you ready to serve. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate before starting.
What’s included
- Calculation of the permitted rent increase under the rules that apply to your tenancy
- Compliant rent review notice on solicitor letterhead
- Statutory comparator information (3 RTB-published comparator rents in the area)
- Service instructions and timing
- 15-minute consultation or call with a solicitor
Who this is for
This service is typically used by people in situations such as these:
- A landlord whose tenancy is due a rent review and who wants the notice done properly
- A landlord unsure how the March 2026 rule changes affect the increase they can seek
- Someone who has had a previous notice challenged and wants the next one drafted by a solicitor
- A landlord letting through an agent who wants the notice checked before it goes out
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
- This service cannot be ordered here; to instruct a solicitor, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
- Complete a short questionnaire with your details and the background to your matter.
- A solicitor reviews your matter and calculates the permitted increase and drafts your rent review notice.
- Your documents and any update are delivered to you by email.
Rent review rules depend on when your tenancy began and where the property is, so A solicitor would confirm which rules apply to you before drafting.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a professionally drafted rent review letter 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.
What happens if a rent review notice is wrong?
The tenant can refer the notice to the Residential Tenancies Board, which may set the rent at whatever it considers compliant. A correctly calculated and worded notice reduces that risk.
Did the rent review rules change in 2026?
Yes. New rules on setting and reviewing rents apply from 1 March 2026. The permitted increase and the notice requirements depend on which rules apply to your tenancy, which A solicitor would confirm as part of the service.
