Residential Tenancy Agreement
Apartment 18 · Dublin 1
This agreement records the rent, deposit, access arrangements, repairs and notice terms for the tenancy.
4. Rent review
The rent may be reviewed annually in line with market conditions.
7. Landlord access
The landlord may enter at reasonable times for inspection or repairs.
9. Repairs
Structural repairs remain the landlord's responsibility.
Clause wording in context
Keep every finding tied to the words on the page.
A rental contract checker is most useful when it shows why a point appeared. HomeScout can connect deposit wording, rent review wording and a landlord access clause to exact excerpts and page references.
The review organises items worth checking and adds plain-language context. It can also record positive points, missing clauses and unusual terms without turning attention markers into legal conclusions.
Context, not a determination
A finding does not confirm that wording is illegal or unfair. Verify important points using current official guidance or a qualified solicitor.
Rent review wording
Page 3 · clause 4.2
“The rent may be reviewed annually in line with market conditions.”
Plain-language context
Check the timing, notice and calculation against current official RTB and RPZ guidance.
Landlord access wording
Page 4 · clause 7.1
“The landlord may enter at reasonable times for inspection or repairs.”
Plain-language context
Clarify notice, non-emergency access and how repair visits will be arranged.
Illustrative wording. A point to verify is not a determination that a clause is illegal or unfair.
Irish rental context
Know where to verify the next step.
For a rental deposit clause, rent review clause or RPZ question, use the review as a route into the right official material. RTB, Citizens Information and gov.ie are sources to consult for current guidance.
Those destinations can help you check deposit information, rent review rules, landlord obligations, notice topics and minimum standards. HomeScout can organise the question and point you there, but it does not retrieve or certify current law.
HomeScout has no official affiliation with RTB, Citizens Information or gov.ie and does not replace them.

Renter-controlled follow-up
Turn uncertainty into questions you control.
HomeScout can generate optional rental contract questions to ask about rent review calculations, deposit deductions, landlord access and repairs. Copy the useful ones, edit them and choose whether to raise them.
Questions are never sent automatically. HomeScout does not negotiate, decide whether a response is sufficient or decide whether you should sign the tenancy agreement.
Your decision stays yours
Use legal support for important or disputed matters. Contract Review remains informational support.
