Arrears cause most rent disputes
Last year’s figures from the Private Residential Tenancies Board (PRTB), provided to the Irish Examiner, show that 35% of all applications were linked to rent arrears, ahead of deposit retention (32%) as the main reason why people involved in the private rental sector contacted the PRTB in 2013.
Other categories which prompted people to contact the PRTB with a dispute include breach of landlord obligations, invalid notice of termination and the standard and maintenance of the property.
