Freya saw the importance of RPZs in Ireland as she helped Kathleen, the case study in our Q1 2025 Impact Report. Kathleen is a pensioner in her late 70s who received a €900 rent increase. Luckily, RPZs expanded to include her home just in time, meaning she stayed in her home.

Kathleen's story Kathleen, a pensioner in her 70s, faced losing her home. Her landlord wished to raise the rent by €900. Just before her RTB hearing, RPZs expanded to include her home. She stayed in her home with an agreed 2% increase, in line with RPZ regulations.

We are happy to publish our Q1 2025 Impact Report. In the quarter, Threshold supported over 9,300 households. Our advisors supported households across the country, stopping families and individuals from entering homelessness. Read the full report: buff.ly/NmCUmBY
