I do not know any elected representative who has not had an issue with the RTB. I came across instances where it was recognising landlords by their email address. Typically, if an agent was using one email, all the properties were linked to that email address. I had a situation where there were two completely separate individuals but one had been making the applications and that email address was then regarded as the landlord. The actual landlord was unable to access the account in order to do anything with their property. Fines ensued and threats were made. I think people can submit a written applications, but they are quite complicated.
