  • Residential Tenancies Board
    Residential Tenancies Board Rent Index Q4 2020 About Us What is the Residential Tenancies Board? The Residential Tenancies Board, also known as the RTB, is a public body set up to support and develop a well-functioning rental housing sector. Our remit extends to the private rental, Approved Housing Body and Student Specific Accommodation sectors. Our role is to regulate the rental sector, provide information and research to inform policy, maintain a national register of tenancies, resolve disputes between tenants and landlords, initiate an investigation into Improper Conduct by a landlord, and provide information to the public to ensure tenancies run smoothly and no issues arise. What We Do Information, Research and Education The RTB provides high-quality information and assistance to landlords, tenants and the public on their rental rights and responsibilities, both in terms of living in and providing accommodation in the rental sector. We also provide accurate and authoritative data on the rental sector, such as the Quarterly Rent Index, which allows us to monitor trends in the rental sector, but also allows individuals to check and compare rents in particular locations. Registrations All private residential landlords, Approved Housing Bodies (who are not-for-profit housing providers, often referred to as Housing Associations) and landlords of Student Specific Accommodation must register their tenancies with the RTB. You can search to see if a tenancy is registered on the RTB website. The registration of tenancies enables us to collect important data on the sector. It is also a key part of regulating and supporting the sector and ensuring that landlords and tenants are aware of their rights and responsibilities.

The Longitude Festival took place on the 18th, 19th and 20th July. The concerts were held in Marlay Park, Grange Road. The concerts were licensed by Dún Laoghaire Rathdown-County Council (DLR) and policed by An Garda Síochana who were supported by security personnel engaged by the Promoter. A number of complaints were received by DLR in regard to the concerts and the purpose of this document is to review these complaints and make recommendations where appropriate. Background Legislative context and licence The Planning and Development Act, 2000 as amended, Part XVI of the Planning and Development Regulations, 2001, as amended provide for the requirement of a license for the holding of outdoor events.
