Register a tenancy

There are eight steps to register a tenancy online, click through each one and complete all those steps that are applicable to your tenancy.

The information required to register a tenancy can be found here.

Important information to note when registering a tenancy:

If you have more than one role type on your online account profile, e.g. landlord and agent, when you begin an application to register a tenancy you will need to select and confirm your role type within this tenancy. 

Receivers you will be asked for  

• the receiver appointment date,  
• if you are acting as the landlord or the agent, and
• the revenue tax number associated with the receivership,

so you will need all these to hand when registering.

Landlords you will need your PPSN, Date of Birth, and to have the correct version of your name that matches your PPS record. 

Company Landlords will need the company’s CRO number. 

Agents you will need your PPSN/Company CRO, along with either of the above depending on who you are registering the tenancy on behalf of.  

Please note, first name, surname, PPS number and Date of Birth details for any individual, used when registering a tenancy must match the information on Department of Social Protection documents (such as Publics Services cards).

Completing Your Application

There is a helpful link on each address page to help you find the Eircode or you can search using the first line of an address.  

On the ‘Dwelling Details’ page there is a question that asks you “Is the tenancy ongoing?” with a tick box for either Yes or No. You only need to tick No here if the tenancy you are registering has ended. If you do tick No you will be asked for the date the tenancy ended and to select the reason it ended.  

There are three payment options available: 

1. Card (debit or credit) 
2. EFT via SEPA (bank transfer) - please be advised that the maximum value for SEPA payments is €4,000
3. Paypal 

You will receive a receipt for your payment also which is stored in your new online account, which can be accessed by clicking the profile icon.  

Tenancies can only be registered once they come into existence, i.e. from the date the tenancy begins.
