Finding out who rents house?

All in all

Hi, we are having a couple of issues with a neighbour and are getting nowhere trying to resolve it with them. I am pretty sure that they are renting the house through local authority/ras scheme. Is there any way of checking if this is the case or if not finding out who the landlord is?

You can go the PTRB web site and look up by area and find all property that are registered with the PTRB private landlords only . so you can find out if it is a landlord and there details.

https://portal.prtb.ie/public_registrations.aspx

Select your area and there is an excel file of the details.

After it opened over 250 tabs in firefox I realised that its a mhtml file which only seems to work properly on internet explorer. Expected better from a public body. (and they probably paid a consultant a fortune to sell them this!)

Whether they are on RAS/local authority scheme is absolutely of no business to you.

Not directly, no - but if the issues with the neighbour relate to anti-social behaviour of some sort, tracing the landlord is genuinely an issue for the OP, as s/he may need to ask the landlord to address the problem with the tenant. If the tenant is on the RAS scheme or is otherwise a local authority tenant, the OP should be raising it with the local authority. All I read into the OP's post was that s/he was trying to find out if there's an easy way to determine the person s/he should bring up the problem with.

Thank you for replying before I got a chance, yes this is the case.

If you click on files under the map you can open in excel or pdf.

Ring the PRTB. They will tell you if the tenancy is registered.
If it is they email you a form to fill out and you email it back to them requesting the landlords contact details.

They then post you out the landlords name and postal address.
I don't it this year for a property.

Are you sure this info is correct? I would have thought that data protection prevents the PRTB handing out contact details of registered landlords.

The land registry is a legitimate way of getting the landlord's details & shows who owns the property. However it may not give address details of the landlord doesnt live in the property. At least you'd have a name to start with though.

100% correct. Done the process in January 2016. Took about 2 weeks in total.
The same data protection could be said for the land registry process.

That's very interesting. I didn't know that was possible. Thanks.
