Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 October 2023
333. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he can provide the number of landlords registered with the Residential Tenancies Board in each of the past 5 years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45135/23]
View answerThe Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) was established as a quasi-judicial independent statutory body under the Residential Tenancies Acts 2004-2022 (RTA), to operate a national tenancy registration system and to facilitate the resolution of disputes between landlords and tenants and as such numbers of registrations are a matter for the Board.
My Department does not collect the information sought. However, the RTB publishes information relating to the registration of tenancies on its websites at: www.rtb.ie/about-rtb/data-insights/data-hub/rtb-private-tenancy-registration-statistics .
Arrangements have been put in place by all bodies under the aegis of my Department to facilitate the provision of information directly to members of the Oireachtas. This provides a speedy, efficient and cost effective system to address queries directly to the relevant bodies. The contact email address for the RTB in this regard is OireachtasMembersQueries@rtb.ie .
