RTB – Reintroduction of Late Fees For Registration

13th February 2024

Starting on 1 March 2024, the RTB will resume the charging of late fees for late tenancy registration.

 

A late fee will be applied for each month, or part thereof, that a new tenancy registration or annual registration renewal with a start date on or after 1 March 2024 is deemed to be late.  Late fees will not be applied retrospectively.
