The Residential Tenancies Act, 2021, states that rent increases in an RPZ cannot exceed general inflation as recorded by the Harmonised Index of Consumer Price (HICP).
RAS landlords are strongly advised to use the RTB Rent Pressure Zone Calculator to calculate any rent increase due and to ensure that the maximum rent increase allowed is not exceeded.  RAS landlords are still required to give 90 days’ notice for a rent review in a RAS property.

When travelling to an EU country or Northern Ireland, your pet needs:

• a microchip
• a valid rabies vaccination
• an animal health certificate, or a valid pet passport that is accepted in the country you’re travelling to
• tapeworm treatment for dogs if you’re travelling directly to Finland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Norway or Malta.

These requirements also apply to assistance dogs.

No - specifically excluded from exemption by Part 1, Schedule 2, Column 2, Condition 7. (see page 156).

Yes provided that:

• It is not forward of the front wall of the house;
• Not greater than 25sqm total area (not floor area) (or no. of sheds aggregated);
• 25sqm of garden space is left. N.B. extensions attached to house are not reckoned as private open space;
• Shed finish is in keeping with the house;
• Shed height: max 4m pitched roof; 3m flat roof;
• It is not lived in or used for keeping of animals (pigs, ponies, horses, pigeons).
  
  (see page 156 - 157, Class 3)

Yes.  Provided that the ground level not be altered by more than 1 metre above or below the level of adjoining ground.  Alteration of ground level to front of house is not permitted other than for landscaping.

(Page 158, Class 6)

Yes, provided that:

• Not less than 2 metres from roadway;
• Not more than 2sqm Height: 3m max for a Flat Roof, 4m max Pitched Roof.
  
  (see page 158, Class 7)

Strictly speaking, yes, to the rear.  However, the provision of lighting and fencing over 2m would not be exempted.  The 1 metre raising/lowering of ground levels also applies.

(Page 158, Class 6 & Page 159, Class 11)

Yes, providing the following guidelines are applied;

• Terraced and Semi-Detached Houses: Windows at ground floor level shall not be less than 1 metre from the boundary they face. Windows at above ground floor level shall not be less than 11m from the boundary they face.  The above applies to terraced s/d dwellings.
• Detached Houses: Where the dwelling is detached and the floor area of above ground floor extension is greater than 12sqm windows shall not be less than 11m from the boundary they face.

Broadly speaking, the construction of an extension or conservatory does not require planning permission when it is to the rear of the house; however, any query from the public of this nature should be dealt with subject to the provisions of Part 1 of the 2nd Schedule to the Planning and Development Regulations, 2001.

The following should be seen only as general guidelines:

• Terraced and Semi-Detached Houses: If the house has not been previously extended, the floor area of the proposed extension cannot exceed 40 sq metres.  This exemption also allows for extensions above ground-floor level (if the house is semi-detached or terraced, the area of the above ground extension cannot exceed 12 sq. m). This means, for a typical semi-detached house, one could have a ground floor extension of 28sq. m & 2nd floor extension of 12sq m without applying for planning permission.  Any above ground floor extension shall be a distance of not less than 2 metres from any party boundary.
• Detached Houses: As with terraced and Semi-detached above, the overall area of extension must be less than 40 sq. metres. This exemption also allows for extensions above ground floor level, the are above ground floor are cannot exceed 20 sq. m. One could therefore have a ground floor extension of 20 sq. m., and a 2nd floor of 20 sq. m.  Any above ground floor extension shall be a distance of not less than 2 metres from any party boundary.
• Both Cases: If the proposed extension is in addition to an existing extension (post 01-10-1964), overall areas of all extensions must not be more than 40 sq. m. - including extensions which needed permission, e.g. to side of house.

No.  This is not exempted development (except the porch - for exemptions see page 158, Class 7 and Section 9).
