Recent Trends in the Private Rental Sector: Residential Tenancies Board

Mr. Tom Dunne:

To be clear on that, the RTB does not have any function in taking the notice but the landlord is obliged to send to it. The RTB does not go through the notice and say it is or is not valid at that point, nor would it be possible to do that without a great deal of resources. I am not sure it would be a good idea. The tenant forms a view as to whether it is valid or not valid and takes a dispute to the board if they think it is not valid.
