Changes in New RPZ Legislation and Their Impact on Small and Large Landlords

In this episode of the Keep It Simple series, Clare explains the key differences between small and large Landlords under Irish law—and why these distinctions matter for Tenant rights and evictions. The legislation defines: • Small Landlords as those owning 1 to 3 rental properties • Large Landlords as those owning 4 or more units, directly or through a company Small Landlords have limited flexibility to use no-fault evictions in cases of genuine hardship or when the property is needed by an immediate family member—both requiring documentation and proof if challenged. Large Landlords face stricter rules. No-fault evictions are effectively banned for them, and evictions can only occur for legal reasons like tenant breaches, major renovations, or selling the property (closely monitored by the RTB). These protections aim to prevent tenant displacement by corporate Landlords, who are assumed to have greater financial resources and less reliance on individual properties. Whether you’re a Landlord or Tenant, this episode offers a clear overview of how Landlord size impacts eviction rights and Tenant protections in Ireland.
