Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 February 2023
244. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the engagements he and or his officials have had with the RTB in respect of resolving an issue regarding the RTB register in which inactive accounts on the RTB register are not issued with automatically generated reminders to register a property; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8008/23]
View answerThe Residential Tenancies Acts 2004-2022 regulates the landlord-tenant relationship in the rented residential sector and sets out the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants. The Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) was established as an independent statutory body under the Acts to operate a national tenancy registration system and to facilitate the resolution of disputes between landlords and tenants and as such, the implementation of its tenancy management system is an operational matter for the RTB.
Neither the RTB nor my Department are aware of any specific cases raised around this issue and therefore there has been no specific engagement with the RTB on this particular matter.
Should further information be required, the RTB set up a dedicated email address for this purpose and may be contacted at OireachtasMembersQueries@rtb.ie .
