How does PRTB Registration work?

The Wild Bunch

Hi guys

Just clinched a new apartment which I'm delighted about, but according to the landlord, he has to register with me with the PRTB.

I think I may have been registered before in a previous address, but had a bad experience with the landlord and broke the tenancy 18 months into a 2 years lease, so now I'm worried this may jeopardise my lease for the new place.

Any help greatly appreciated

all you need to give him is your full name. PPS number is optional in my experience. I cant see how your previous experience can jeopardise your lease.

Each tenancy should be registered separately.
Don't worry about previous tenancies.
Nobody is comparing notes and telling tales to your new landlord

Phew!

Thanks guys

I was worried that because my previous tenancy ended badly, it would jeopardize my new place, was unaware everything was done seperately

Never worry about state, semi-state or quangos systems and staff having a coherent communication of data.
They are paralysed with incompetent/lazy staff, legacy standalone systems and fear of data protection legislation.

Except Revenue...they're good.
Everything else is hit and miss

And you should get notification from PRTB that the tenancy is registered

So my new landlord will be notified that I have already registered?

Does that mean he then doesn't have to register me, or does he have to do it again seperately?

No, I think you receive. Notification when he registers you

agreed don't worry about it,new tenancy new start. and anyway it takes them a year to get to most complaints about a year to make a decision and in the end its a waste of time,
nonsense expense for the landlord and an irrelevance for the tenant

They've gotten a lot better in all honesty. Evictions are now down to 6-8 weeks, and deposit disputes- 8-12 weeks. Thankfully- it would appear the era of waiting a year (or longer) are over for both tenants and landlords.

This may be how it appears. In fact- Revenue, DSFA and other agencies, are getting better and better at sharing information- with most agencies now checking back via at least wsdl links the validity of information as they input it on their systems, and any suspicious transactions are highlighted and shared.

The era of all the different Departments, agencies and bodies- having wholly stand-alone systems, are yesteryear. Its far from perfect- but its not the disjointed system most people seem to imagine.

Deposit's been paid and contract's been signed so he can f*ck off if he think's he's kicking me out

With no disrespect intended- if you're a good tenant and the landlord a good landlord- there is no reason you won't have a long and satisfactory tenancy in the apartment. The particulars of your previous tenancy- are not going to colour your current tenancy- unless you refer directly about them to the landlord- or behave in a similar manner (and I have no idea what participated your falling out with your previous landlord- nor is relevant to the current tenancy).

Where both parties behave in an appropriate manner towards one another- its a recipe for happiness and peace for everyone.

I hope you enjoy your new apartment, and the time you spend there.
