Since March 1, 2024, the RTB have resumed 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.
Upcoming New Registration or Annual Registration Renewal
Landlords/agents who are registering a new tenancy registration with a tenancy commencement date on or after 1 March 2024 or are completing an annual registration of an existing tenancy which becomes due on or after 1 March 2024, will now be charged late fees (€10 per month ) if the registration is not completed within the 4 weeks from the anniversary of the tenancy commencement date.
Late registrations: 4 April 2022 – 12 November 2023
Landlords/agents who have yet to register a tenancy which was due for registration as a new tenancy registration with a tenancy commencement date on or after the 4 April 2022, or have yet to complete an annual registration of an existing tenancy which became due on or after 4 April 2022 up to 12 November 2022, will still be charged late fees (€10 per month ) but those late fees will be refunded in due course.
