Residential Tenancies Board - Financial Statements 2020 (24 Feb 2022) Matt Carthy: Let me ask the question in a different way. Is Mr. Byrne concerned that there may be substantial numbers of unregistered tenancies?

Residential Tenancies Board - Financial Statements 2020 (24 Feb 2022) Matt Carthy: I suppose I am trying to get a sense of whether Mr. Byrne believes this is a particular problem. Does Mr. Byrne have a sense or evidence that there is-----

- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Residential Tenancies Board - Financial Statements 2020 (24 Feb 2022) Matt Carthy: Is there a pattern of those that are not registered? My assumption is that there would be a proportion that would be on so-called "mate's rates" or friendly arrangements where it is a family member or somebody who they know fairly well where the prospects of a complaint being made to the Residential Tenancies Board are slim in that regard. Alternatively, you are dealing with particularly...

Residential Tenancies Board - Financial Statements 2020 (24 Feb 2022) Matt Carthy: I would suggest so. I want to follow up on the scenario Deputy Munster raised whereby tenant A, who has been paying a level of rent, moves out. The Residential Tenancies Board knows what they rent was. Tenant B moves in and has no access to the information but the RTB knows what that rent is. Does the RTB as a matter of course compare and contrast to assert whether the requirements of the...

Residential Tenancies Board - Financial Statements 2020 (24 Feb 2022) Matt Carthy: No, I am asking if the RTB does it as a matter of course.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Residential Tenancies Board - Financial Statements 2020 (24 Feb 2022) Matt Carthy: If I am tenant B, I cannot make a complaint saying that my rent is in breach of the rent-pressure zones because I do not know what tenant A was paying. However, the RTB has that information. I imagine it would be fairly simple for its software to flag it in terms of a rent-pressure zone here. We have a tenancy where the rent has increased by 10% or 11% within the last 12 months and...

Residential Tenancies Board - Financial Statements 2020 (24 Feb 2022) Matt Carthy: I am guessing that if Mr. Byrne does not have a quick answer, the answer is that it does not happen as a matter of course.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Residential Tenancies Board - Financial Statements 2020 (24 Feb 2022) Matt Carthy: I wish Mr. Byrne the best of luck in his new role. I wish to follow up on something Deputy Munster said about tenants making a complaint. Their landlord might have been found to have been in breach of the RTB's regulations. That landlord may have multiple properties. Again, as a matter of course does the RTB then look at the other properties under that landlord's control to see if...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Residential Tenancies Board - Financial Statements 2020 (24 Feb 2022) Matt Carthy: I am glad to hear that. I have just one question left and it is a big one based on the issues that come to us. Going back to tenant A who has moved out, what protections are in place for them to be able to have their full deposit returned?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Residential Tenancies Board - Financial Statements 2020 (24 Feb 2022) Matt Carthy: I know the Minister has previously said that the legislation regarding deposit retention is no longer workable essentially. While I take it that interest does not really apply anymore, is Mr. Byrne satisfied that if tenant A makes a complaint to the RTB because they have not received their deposit back in full, it will be in a position to ensure that will happen?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Residential Tenancies Board - Financial Statements 2020 (24 Feb 2022) Matt Carthy: Does Mr. Byrne believe it would be useful if there was a deposit-retention scheme to alleviate the issues that have arisen?

Residential Tenancies Board - Financial Statements 2020 (24 Feb 2022) Matt Carthy: I wish to make a final comment as a small piece of advice. While there are particular issues at the moment, the biggest issue regarding tendencies I have come across over a long period is the difficulties with tenants having their deposits returned. Something needs to be done and we can only look at it for so long before we put in place measures to address it.
