There is no separate Kildare procedure: disputes about most private tenancies in Kildare are handled through the national Residential Tenancies Board (RTB). You can first try to resolve the issue directly, then apply to the RTB for dispute resolution, setting out the facts and providing relevant evidence such as the lease, messages, photographs or payment records. The RTB may deal with the case through mediation, adjudication or a tribunal, depending on the process and circumstances. The outcome is decided by the RTB based on the individual case, so check the latest guidance and application requirements on rtB.ie or seek independent legal advice if the matter is complex.
