“Does my landlord need to be registered with the Residential Tenancies Board?
A thorny question for a country in the middle of a housing crisis.
Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe told reporters early that yes, your landlord must be registered, while Minister for Housing Daragh O’Brien has said that a tenant will “claim it on the basis of the registered tenancy number that they have”.
Landlords are required by law to register their tenancy but this isn’t always done, as was the case with numerous TDs who rented out properties.”
If this is the case, people renting from someone availing from the Rent a Room scheme won’t be eligible to claim the credit, seems pretty unfair!
> Will I need to provide proof of the rent I pay?
> The tenant would be obliged to provide details of the property and of the landlord to Revenue
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if hundreds of landlords’ voices suddenly cried out in terror…
