Introduce a three-year rent freeze

What this means

• The Social Democrats promised to freeze rents for three years if they entered government after the 2024 general election.[source]
• Alongside the freeze, they proposed a 'Reference Rent' system, which would set a benchmark for what landlords can charge tenants.[source]
• The party also committed to giving Gardai the power to step in and stop illegal evictions from happening.[source]
• This commitment was made in their November 2024 election manifesto and remains a promise only, as the party is not in government.[source]
• For renters, this matters because it would directly limit how much landlords could increase rent over a three-year period.[source]
