Updating registrations

When you must update the tenancy registration

You must update each tenancy registration if there is a:

  • Change to the rent amount: notify us within 1 month of the new rent taking effect.
  • Change in tenant(s): if some tenants change but at least one of the original tenants remains in the property, you must update the registration.
  • Change of property ownership: if you are no longer the owner but at least one of the original landlords remains, you must update the registration.
  • Change to the property’s rental status: if you are no longer renting the property out.
  • New property owner: if the property has a new owner.

Important things to note

Removing all original tenants

If you remove all the original tenants from the registration, it ends automatically. If new tenants move in, you need to create a new tenancy registration. To do this, select the ‘Create a New Registration’ option on your registration account homepage.

New property owner

If the property has a new owner, you need to provide us with extra information. Contact registrations@rtb.ie for more information.

Updates to tenancy start date

If you provided the wrong tenancy start date when you registered, you cannot change it in your registration account.

You need to send us a correction in writing:

  • By email: to registrations@rtb.ie
  • By post: to Residential Tenancies Board, PO Box 13841, Freepost FKY7736, Killorglin, Co Kerry.
