    Tenant Over Holding - Can't afford to keep renting/Can't Sell!!

    Warning. Nobody should accept over the phone advice from RTB. as it will probably be incorrect unless it is a very simple query. A competent person is unlikely to be answering routine phone calls or has moved to another position or job.

    Private Equity money in Housing

    It would appear that the sale to the fund was because there was going to be a further delay by private purchasers of the houses and the developer needed the money as he was paying over €20k a week interest on borrowings. Again basic economics.

    Increase rent ' officially' but effectively not really.

    RTB Computers down again

    I would normally have gotten an email advising me that the annual registration was due a few days prior to it becoming due. Not this time. The " Flintone technology " was apparently not up to it at the end of August either. Landlords might be well advised not to rely on this notification...

    RTB Computers down again
