Register a tenancy

There are eight steps to register a tenancy online and you must complete each applicable step in order to register your tenancy. The information required to register a tenancy can be found here.

Important information to note when registering a tenancy: 

When you begin a registration application, you will need to select and confirm your role type on this tenancy. You cannot occupy two roles on a tenancy. This is applicable if you have more than one role on your online account profile, e.g. landlord and agent. 

Landlords

In order to register a tenancy as a landlord, you will need the following information: 

• Your PPSN.  

• Your date of birth.  

• Your full name.

Please note that the details above must match the records held by the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection (DEASP). 

Agents

In order to register a tenancy as an agent, you will need the following information:  

• Your PPSN, or company CRO.  

• The email address for the company admin.  

Please note that the details above must match the records held by the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection (DEASP). 

Company or Business

Please note: Company landlords will require additional information to register a tenancy, including the company’s CRO number.   

If you would like to confirm if your organisation is registered as a company or a business please check out www.cro.ie . You can search the name of your organisation here: https://core.cro.ie/ 

If you are a non-CRO organisation, non-national landlord or a company outside of Ireland seeking to complete a tenancy registration, please click here to download our helpful account setup guide.

Receiver

In order to register a tenancy as a receiver, you will need to provide the following information

• Your first name and last name, as stated on your public service card or other official ID.
• A document on company headed paper identifying you as a receiver and ID confirming your identity, e.g. a passport or driving licence.
• An email address to access your account. We recommend using a business email address rather than a personal email address.

Please ensure that you have this information to hand when registering a tenancy. 

Completing Your Application 

On the ‘Dwelling Details’ page there is a question that asks, “Is the tenancy ongoing?” with a tick box for either Yes or No. You are only required to tick No if the tenancy you are registering has ended. If you 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:  

• Card (debit or credit)  

• EFT via SEPA (bank transfer) - please be advised that the maximum value for SEPA payments is €4,000 

• Paypal  

You will receive a receipt for your payment which is stored in your new online account. Receipts can be viewed by clicking on ‘My Profile’. 

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

Eircode Requirement   

The RTB now require all tenancies being registered to have the correct Eircode applied to the address of the property. For more information click here
