Property Management

Rent Pressure Zones (RPZs) are areas where rents are highest and rising quickly. An area must meet certain criteria to become an RPZ. In these areas, annual rent increases are capped. 

RPZs were introduced on 24 December 2016. They were due to end on 31 December 2024, but the Government extended them until 31 December 2025. 

See below for the list of areas that are Rent Pressure Zones.
