RTB disputes can take months because of the volume of cases, the time needed to collect evidence, notify all parties and arrange mediation or adjudication. Delays may also arise when a party does not respond promptly, documents are incomplete, or the dispute involves several issues requiring detailed consideration. The RTB’s published process and timelines can change, so check your case updates and respond by every stated deadline. The eventual outcome depends on the facts and evidence in the individual case; consider getting advice from a solicitor or Threshold if you need help understanding your position.
