Rent Control

Date published: 17 September 2018

Rent control is when a maximum rent is set on a property that is privately rented.

Legislation introduced on 1 April 2007 provides a new structure for the private rented sector in Northern Ireland.

For any increase in rent for controlled tenancies to be applied after 1 April 2007, a landlord must apply to the Rent Officer for Northern Ireland under the provisions of the Private Tenancies Order 2006.
