The RTB dispute process is the same in Louth as elsewhere in Ireland: you start by submitting an application online or using the RTB’s forms, explaining the issue and providing supporting evidence. The RTB may offer mediation first; if that does not resolve the matter, it can proceed to adjudication and, where applicable, a Tenancy Tribunal. Keep copies of the lease, rent records, notices, messages, photographs and any relevant inspection reports, and follow the deadlines given by the RTB. The outcome depends on the facts and evidence, so consider getting advice from a solicitor or threshold adviser for a complex dispute.
