Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion

3:00 pm

Ms Lucia Crimin:

Just to be a little bit careful, I think those 17,000 tenancies would have been accumulating over a little bit of 2022 and into 2023. As I mentioned earlier, when we were trying to deal with the registration system and trying to implement the improvements on that or to stabilise our contact centre, we had to redeploy staff from other parts of the RTB. We had to press pause on that work, so that 17,000 was an accumulated volume. With regard to some of those tenancies, we took a decision not to perform any analysis on them. We just issued those letters. The point the Deputy raised is interesting with regard to seeing when they came into compliance. The ultimate thing that is important is we are now dealing with 1,500 and not 17,000 in potential non-compliance.
