It’s hoped a new tenancy registration scheme will prevent illegitimate tenancy terminations in Clare.

Data released last year based on Census 2022 figures, indicates that 11% of rental properties in this county are not registered with the Residential Tenancies Board.

Under a new campaign launched by the RTB in conjunction with Clare County Council tenants will be empowered to anonymously report a property that hasn’t been registered by the landlord.

The RTB’s Head of Compliance and Enforcement, Emer Morrissey, says its vital tenants feel safe in their houses and know the criteria for valid termination.
