We wish to advise you that failure by the landlord to register the tenancy can result in fines of up to €3,000 and/or up to 6 months in prison, along with a daily fine of €250.
Application Forms to register your property can be found on: http://www.rtb.ie. Here you will also find the relevant information for tenants and landlords, rights and obligations.
