Do you not look up the disputes list as part of your vetting of new tenants? Would you not like if the names of all tenants who stopped paying their rent were published there so that you could avoid them for future lettings?
Then you get an RTB judgement. This will increase the probability, though not guarantee, that you will get any money back at all.Yep, pretty easy to prove you've not received the rent for months. And then what?
How on earth Leo could one hope to do that when you'd have to go into each individual dispute. In any case most of my tenants are there for years so I've no need.
And yes I'd love such a list. But I'm sure that would fall foul of Data Protection or something like Human rights.
You literally put a potential tenant's name into this database to see if it appears.
In Ireland it is much, much easier to find out if someone has a bad record as a tenant than to discover a criminal record or a poor credit history.
Wow, that brill. I hadn't looked on there for years. They've really improved it. Very impressed. Thank you very much. And well done the RTB.You literally put a potential tenant's name into this database to see if it appears.

Brilliant. I didn't know that could be done. Thank you for the link.

There is also the public good aspect, which has been well explained.
Right so, you, eventually, get your RTB decision, you know what happens next don't you?
