Tenants in Ireland generally have the right to a safe, well-maintained home, peaceful occupation, information about their tenancy, and protection from unlawful eviction or discrimination. Rules also cover deposits, rent increases, notice periods, minimum housing standards and the landlord’s obligation to register the tenancy with the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB). Your rights and obligations can depend on the type and date of the tenancy, so keep written records and check the latest guidance on gov.ie and the RTB website. If a dispute arises, the RTB’s dispute resolution process may help, while a solicitor can advise on complex circumstances.
