What are my legal obligations as a landlord in Ireland?

Landlord

In Ireland, landlords must comply with guidelines set out by the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) and relevant housing legislation. Key obligations include:

• Registering your tenancy with the RTB.
• Ensuring the property meets minimum standards in terms of health, safety, and habitability.
• Providing the tenant with rent books or statements, and maintaining proper records of rent paid.
• Respecting the tenant’s privacy by giving adequate notice before inspections or repairs.
• Following correct notice periods when ending a tenancy, based on the duration of the lease.

To stay compliant, many landlords opt for a property management service like that provided by HJ Byrne. This helps ensure you meet all legal responsibilities and maintain a positive relationship with your tenants.
