Second PRTB charge when tenancy reaches 4 years

ted1

I got an invoice from the PRTB looking for me to reregister my existing tenants, as they have been there for 4 years. What aload of rubbish, complete racketeering.

Has anyone ever challenged this?

godtabh

does the registration fee only cover 4 years or the tenancy?

When I am on hold with the RTB it says on their "prerecording" that its every 6 years that it has to be renewed and that was only yesterday!!

The legislation changed in January moving part IV from 4 to 6 years for new tenancies. However existing tenancies are still on 4 year cycle and need to be renewed after 4 years or whenever a new tenancy commences that is the law so if you want to go to court to challenge the law over €90 work away!

Challenge in that it's an unjust fee that offers no benefit,

Take the opportunity to end the tenancy and start a new one from scratch.
I won't go into it, but don't take my word for it. If you look it up there are many downsides to a LL letting a part 4 roll after 4 years, compared to ending it. End it while you have the chance and then consider all of your options freshly.

Out if laziness I hasn't considered it. I'll check with my solicitor and see what he thinks. They have being very good tenants.

The tenants have already been there for 4 years. Section 42 has been abolished. Too late.

The payment of a second €90 after 4 years has been in existence for years.

It is being more frequently applied now because tenancies are lasting longer in the tight rental market.
