Question:

166. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the outstanding documentation required in respect of an application for rent allowance in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; if the letter from Private Residential Tenancies Board already provided will suffice as proof of landlord's ownership; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36961/14]

Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection

The client concerned has been requested to provide a housing need assessment, a lease agreement and documentation confirming proof of ownership. The PRTB letter provided does not verify the name of the landlord of the rental property. On receipt of this information the client's entitlement to Rent Supplement can be assessed.
