Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 June 2018
1287. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government his views on a case; the options open to persons (details supplied) in this matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24509/18]
View answerThe Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) was established as an independent statutory body under the Residential Tenancies Acts 2014-2016 to operate a national tenancy registration system and to resolve disputes between landlords and tenants.
Where there is a dispute between a landlord and tenant in respect of a failure of either party to fulfil their obligations under the Acts, or a dispute in relation to whether or not a tenancy exists, the dispute may be referred to the RTB for resolution.
Due to the quasi-judicial role of the RTB, it would be inappropriate for me, as Minister, to comment on or to interfere in, the specifics of any case.
