    To be honest it makes no odds to you as a tenant whether the landlord is registered or not.
    If the landlord has paid the letting agent to manage the property, then he may assume that the agency has done this admin work on his behalf.

    Should also note that the PRTB website is notorious for being wrong, out of date or incomplete. Your tenant rights are not impacted by a landlord not registering, although it's a handy stick to beat them with if they try to break the rules further. It just means they can't lodge a complaint against you if they are not registered, but you may lodge a complaint against them.

    Landlord would need your pps no. to complete the form. If he didn't ask for it you may not be registered. Not a problem for you but he cannot avail of tax relief on his costd if not registered.

    Pps can be left blank, but efforts should have been made to obtain pps no prior to registering.

    OP, I think you should have received something in the post if the tenancy was registered. This has been the case for any of my tenants once I register them online....
