Document background
A Rent Review Notice is a crucial document in Irish property law that formally initiates the process of reviewing and potentially adjusting the rent for a property. It must be used whenever a landlord wishes to implement a rent change, whether for residential properties (subject to Residential Tenancies Act requirements and Rent Pressure Zone restrictions) or commercial properties (governed by commercial lease terms and market conditions). The notice must be served within specific timeframes and contain particular information as required by Irish law, including clear identification of all parties, property details, current and proposed rent amounts, and effective dates. For residential properties, the notice must comply with RPZ calculations where applicable, while commercial rent reviews typically require market evidence to support the proposed changes. The document serves as both a legal requirement and a formal record of the rent review process.
