Important – Rent Arrears New Process

 

A new process for rent arrears has been introduced as of the 2nd August 2020.

 

  • The rent arrears procedure is an eight step process and is more onerous, complicated and involved than the previous process.

 

  • New temporary protections are in place for tenants who are unable to pay their rent due to Covid-19.  A tenant must serve a Self-Declaration Form on a landlord to avail of the protection.

 

  • The RTB have produced a guidance document on rent arrears as a result of Covid-19, outlining the required steps which can be accessed here.

 

  • A document has been produced with updated information for landlords and tenants.  It clarifies queries that may have arisen as a result of recent legislative changes and is available here.
