Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Residential Tenancies Board - Financial Statements 2020

Mr. Niall Byrne:

There are exempted categories under the legislation. If a tenant lives with the landlord, if a room to rent scheme is in operation or if parents own a house which is lived in by their adult children without a tenancy arrangement, such cases do not require registration. We have worked through each of the concerns referred to us to establish the situation as regards the registrability of the tenancies. Our commitment is to work through that detail.
