Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion

3:00 pm

Ms Lucia Crimin:

I will make two quick points on that. Technically, down the line, it will be possible to take another dataset and match it to ours. Just because a property is sold does not mean the tenancy ends. There is a complexity to it. I said I appreciate the sensitivity of the particular matter. While the obligation is on landlords and agents to register the tenancy on an annual basis or when a new tenancy is created, there is also an obligation on the landlord or the agent to update the details.
