Board woes leave tenants out of pocket
The PRTB was established in 2004 to set up a national register of landlords and to provide a dispute resolution service for tenants and landlords. However, resource constraints have delayed hearings and a failure to pursue landlords through the courts has left tenants out of pocket.
Bob Jordan, director of the housing charity Threshold, said the PRTB was set up as a “cheap and speedy” alternative to the courts for landlords and tenants.
