The Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) was established as a quasi-judicial independent statutory body under the Residential Tenancies Acts 2004-2022 (RTA), to operate a national tenancy registration system and to facilitate the resolution of disputes between landlords and tenants and as such numbers of registrations are a matter for the Board.

My Department does not collect the information sought. However, the RTB publishes information relating to the registration of tenancies on its websites at: www.rtb.ie/about-rtb/data-insights/data-hub/rtb-private-tenancy-registration-statistics.

Arrangements have been put in place by all bodies under the aegis of my Department to facilitate the provision of information directly to members of the Oireachtas. This provides a speedy, efficient and cost effective system to address queries directly to the relevant bodies. The contact email address for the RTB in this regard is OireachtasMembersQueries@rtb.ie.
