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-----

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.

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...

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?
