Private residental tenancies – data set

The RTB ‘Profile of the Register’ data series is the most authoritative and complete source of information on the size and profile of Ireland’s rental sector.

The data sets below show private tenancies registered with the RTB at the end of each quarter from Q2 2023.

The data is broken down by county, Local Authority, Local Electoral Area, dwelling type, dwelling size and landlord size.

The ‘Profile of the Register’ data series provides more accurate and in-depth information than previously available on the Irish rental sector. This follows improvements made to the RTB’s registration processes between Q4 2021 and Q2 2023.

The changes made to remove duplicate and inactive tenancies include:

  • A new requirement to renew tenancies annually.
  • Automatic removal of tenancies which are not renewed from the Register.
  • Eircode validation for all tenancy addresses.
  • Landlords verified by PPSN or CRO number.

The system improvements and enhanced validation processes mean that this new data series is not directly comparable to tenancy figures published for periods prior to Q2 2023.
