Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018

Public bill · Government · Presented

The main aim is to tighten rules for renters and landlords, especially in rent pressure zones. It would give the Residential Tenancies Board stronger powers to investigate landlords, fine them for improper conduct, create offences for illegal rent increases or false information, lengthen notice periods before a landlord can end a tenancy, and require tenancies to be registered every year. It would also make the Board publish its decisions so the public can see the outcomes more easily.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to amend the Residential Tenancies Acts 2004 to 2016; to provide for powers to carry out investigations of landlords and impose administrative sanctions; to provide for offences in relation to non-compliance with rent increase restrictions in rent pressure zones; to increase the notice periods to be provided in the case of termination of a tenancy by a landlord; to provide for annual registration by landlords of tenancies and to amend the registration process; to provide for mandatory publication of determination orders by the Residential Tenancies Board; and to provide for related matters.
