Tenants could take case against landlord if €100 electricity credit is not passed on

All electricity customers, including pay-as-you-go customers, will receive a one-time €100 off their energy bill, which will be automatically applied to their accounts.

Tenants could take a case against their landlord if the €100 credit being given to all electricity account holders in the coming weeks is not passed on to them.

For those who have their electricity costs included as part of their rent, the Department of Communications is working with the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) on an information campaign to make renters aware of the scheme and their entitlements.
