      They should have PPS numbers for all and revenue would have any registered address and could issue correspondence on their behalf, they already offer this service at a cost to companies

      If you’re a landlord and you’re not registered then that’s not really a problem for your tenants. It’s mostly a problem for you. Might be a problem for Revenue but that’s for them to sort out, and they’re much better placed to do so anyway.

      I’d prefer that the RTB had more staff educating the public on this than sending begging letters out to landlords.

      If your landlord isn’t registered it does not matter for you as a tenant. It has no impact whatsoever on your tenancy rights. You retain the same rights regarding security of tenure and rent reviews, and everything else, as you do if the landlord is registered. You can enforce those rights through the RTB regardless.

      If the landlord is not registered, however, then they cannot enforce *their* rights before the RTB. That goes for stuff like rent arrears, or if you were to decide to withhold your last months rent in lieu of a deposit, or provide inadequate notice of leaving, or sublet, etc.

      Honestly the main issue here is the lack of data sharing. The CSO & Revenue sharing data with the RTB would go a lot further to assisting them than adding extra staff to join and operate as blindly as the current staff are.

      Ultimately it’s not currently fit for purpose really, especially in then housing climate Ireland finds itself in currently.

      Of course they do. This country is a landlords paradise. 

      They probably don’t need a lot of staff for this, if the Minister for Finance and the Housing Minister along with their respective departments got together and set up a working group/task force where the RTB work with Revenue, they could effectively do their job. But I doubt that would ever occur as they would invent some lie that it’s making landlords leave the market or whatever other neoliberal lies they come out with.

      Just make the punishment extremely harsh and they won’t need to chase as many people.

      Same as all of these.

      RTB understaffed and useless to both tenants and landlords. An Bord Pleanala understaffed and hugely delaying planning decisions. Charity Commission understaffed and lets rogue operators like PMVT run riot. IPAS understaffed and can’t process asylum applications and appeals in a timely fashion. And on and on and on.
