Cork landlord issued with five written cautions over rent pressure zone breaches

The RTB — a regulatory body that has oversight of the housing market in Ireland — today published details of 38 sanctions ranging from a written caution up to a fine of €3,963.76

More than 85% of the 76 sanctions for improper conduct published to date are for breaches of Rent Pressure Zone (RPZ) limits on rents

A landlord who failed to abide by legal limits on rent increases in relation to five properties in Cork's College Road area is among those sanctioned by the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) for being out of line with tenancy laws.

Denis Cooper of Crookstown, Co. Cork, was issued a written caution, five times over, for failing to keep within the bounds of rent increase limits set by the Rent Pressure Zones legislation in the College Road area.
