You can search the Register to see if your tenancy is registered with the RTB. The Register is a list of all private, Approved Housing Body and cost rental tenancies currently registered with the RTB. There is a separate register for student specific accommodation tenancies.
Enter your address or Eircode to check the register.
Select an address or choose “Enter address manually”.
Online tenancy registrations appear on the Register within 48 hours. Paper applications take longer to process.
The Register lists all currently registered private tenancies that comply with annual registration requirements. There is a separate register for Student-Specific Accommodation.
If a tenancy has ended and we have been notified, it will no longer appear on the Register. The Register does not keep historical records, so you can’t search for past tenancy registrations.
Addresses are self-declared by those registering tenancies, so there may be variations in how they are entered. To improve search results, try different versions of the address.
The Register is sensitive to capital letters, spacing, commas, apostrophes, and other formatting. If an address is entered incorrectly, no results will appear. Trying multiple variations can help find the correct entry.
By law, landlords must register their tenancies with the RTB every year.
Failing to register a tenancy can result in serious consequences, including a criminal conviction.
You can report an unregistered tenancy to us by completing the webform.
