Penalties to be re-imposed on landlords who miss deadline to register tenancies

Following a series of what it deemed technical improvements and increased staffing in a contact centre, the Residential Tenancies Board is now in a position to re-impose late fees of €10 a month if a landlord doesn’t register a tenancy on time.

The Residential Tenancies Board has said it will resume charging late fees to landlords who fail to register a tenancy on time — more than a year after suspending the penalties due to significant delays and backlogs.

The regulator said the move comes after it had “worked continuously to address the issues and concerns raised by users of the platform”.
