RTB compliance
Know every morning what the RTB needs from you
A 07:45 weekday email lists every registration, renewal and tenant change that needs you. One workbook holds the details in the order the RTB asks for them, with what is still missing flagged. And when a tenant moves out and another moves in, TenantSync starts the one-month count for you, across the whole portfolio.

The problem
The admin that quietly carries the liability
Without TenantSync
Someone has to open the spreadsheet every morning and work out which registration windows close this week.
Registering means retyping addresses, rents, landlords and tenants into the RTB portal, then finding out a PPSN is missing.
A tenant moves out, a friend moves in, and nobody tells the RTB until it comes up in a dispute.
Annual renewals get keyed in as new registrations, without the existing reference.
Part 4 dates, BER certs, gas and electrical certs are tracked in four different places, if at all.
With TenantSync
The digest does it before you arrive: overdue first, then this week, then the next 30 days, each item linked to the tenancy that clears it.
The RTB workbook lays every answer out per tenancy, marks each one ready to file or not, and names exactly what is still missing.
Change the tenants on a registered lease and TenantSync records the change, works out the date to tell the RTB by, and asks how the tenancy changed.
Renewals are marked as annual registrations and quote the existing RT number, in the app and in the workbook.
Eleven obligation types sit on one dashboard, each marked compliant, upcoming or overdue against its due date.
See it working
Three things that take RTB admin off your mind
What arrives in the morning, what you file from, and what happens when a tenant changes.
Start the day knowing what the RTB needs
Before the office opens, one email sorts every RTB action across the portfolio into overdue, this week and the next 30 days. The same list sits on your dashboard.
Overdue first
Registrations, renewals, tenant changes, RTB copies of served notices and certificates, most urgent at the top.
See what each one needs
A registration says how many details are missing, or that it is ready to file.
Open the tenancy and clear it
Every item links to the lease it is about, so there is nothing to search for.
Quiet when there is nothing to do
No list, no email. Colleagues can switch it on for themselves.
File from one workbook, not twenty tabs
Download the tenancies that need filing as one Excel workbook, with the columns in the order of the registration form and every row marked ready or not.
Pick what to export
Everything needing action, every tracked tenancy, or just the ones you ticked. One tenancy from its lease page.
Fix what is missing first
The "Missing for RTB" column names the gap, so a PPSN or BER rating is chased before you sit down to file.
Key it into the RTB portal
Address, tenancy, landlord and tenant details laid out in the same order the portal asks for them.
Keep it safe
It holds PPSNs and dates of birth, so it comes from inside your account and is never emailed.
Tenant swaps the RTB hears about in time
Change the tenants on a registered lease and TenantSync records it, works out the date the RTB must hear by, and asks which route the change took.
Spotted on the lease
Who left and who joined, recorded the moment the lease is saved.
Choose the route
Assignment, joining the joint tenancy or sub-letting update the registration. A new tenancy means registering again.
Know what the RTB needs
The next step for that route, the date to do it by, and the change in tomorrow’s digest until it is done.
Mark the RTB told
Record the day, and the change moves off the list.
What you get
RTB compliance as a morning routine, not a folder of PDFs
Built around Irish tenancy law rather than adapted to it: registrations, annual renewals, tenant changes, the rent cap and Part 4 are first-class, not custom fields on a generic property tool.
The 07:45 RTB digest
One email every weekday morning listing what is overdue, what falls due this week and what is coming up in the next 30 days, across registrations, renewals, tenant changes, notice copies and certificates. Nothing to act on, no email.
On for the account owner, colleagues switch it on
The same list on your dashboard as "Today’s RTB actions"

The RTB workbook (Excel)
Every tenancy that needs filing, one row each, with the columns in RTB1 form order: dwelling, tenancy, landlord, agent. New registrations, annual renewals and tenant changes sit on their own sheets, and landlords and tenants on a Parties sheet. You submit through the RTB portal with the workbook open beside it.
"Ready to file" and "Missing for RTB" on every row

Tenant changes, caught
When the tenants on a registered tenancy change, TenantSync records who left and who joined, starts the one-month count, and asks which route it was: assignment, joining the joint tenancy, sub-letting or a new tenancy. It then says what the RTB needs for that route.
Shown on the lease, in the digest and in the workbook
A new tenancy closes the old one in the workbook
Mark the RTB told, with the date, when it is done
Deadlines and renewals derived, not remembered
A registration record is created with each lease, carrying the one-month deadline from the tenancy start date and the annual renewal date. Renew from last year’s details in one click; changes since then are flagged.
National rent cap, with the working shown
The rent-review tracker calculates the maximum legal rent from CSO All-Items CPI against the 2% cap, names the rule it applied, and carries a disclaimer, so the figure is auditable rather than a black box.
Eleven obligations, one view
RTB registration and renewal, rent review, Part 4 notice, BER cert, insurance, fire alarm service, gas safety cert, electrical cert, AML review and your own custom items, colour-coded by due date.
How it works
From spreadsheet to a morning list in one session
Import your portfolio
Bring tenancies across from Letman, any other system or a spreadsheet. Each lease creates its RTB record automatically.
Read the 07:45 list
Overdue first, then this week, then the next 30 days. Each item opens the tenancy it is about.
Fill the gaps, open the workbook
Add what the workbook says is missing, then you submit through the RTB portal with every answer laid out in front of you.
Mark it done
Confirm the registration with the proof attached, or mark the RTB told about a tenant change. Tomorrow’s list is shorter.

Built by the same code as the real export, from invented tenancies. Open it in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets and see exactly what you would key into the RTB portal.
New registrations
One row per tenancy, dwelling and tenancy answers in form order
Annual renewals
Marked annual, with the existing RT number
Tenancy changes
Who left, who joined, and the date to tell the RTB by
Parties
Landlords and tenants, matched to each row by reference
The real workbook holds PPSNs and dates of birth, so it stays inside your account.
Goes well with
The rest of the tenancy, in the same place
Why this and not a generic tool
Irish tenancy law is the product, not a configuration option
RTB registration is a first-class workflow
Not a document template bolted onto a generic property tool. Global platforms do not model the RTB at all.
The workbook speaks the RTB’s language
Columns in the order of the registration form, renewals marked annual, a new tenancy closing the old one. Nothing to translate.
Compliance is portfolio-wide
Agency and branch scoping means a principal sees every managed tenancy and a branch manager sees theirs, in the app and in the digest.
Your records stay yours
Registration proof, versioned snapshots and compliance history export whenever you need them.
Free tools
Try the RTB tools before you sign up
The same deadline and rent-cap logic the product runs on, free and without a login.
FAQ
RTB compliance questions
What Irish letting agents and landlords ask before moving their portfolio across.
When is an Irish tenancy due for RTB registration?
Within one month of the tenancy commencing. TenantSync derives that date from the tenancy start date when the lease is created, recalculates days-to-deadline on every change, and moves the registration to overdue if the window passes without confirmation.
Does TenantSync submit the registration to the RTB for me?
No. TenantSync works out what is due, checks the details the RTB asks for and builds the workbook, but you submit through the RTB portal yourself and then mark the registration submitted. If you register by post, it pre-fills the RTB1 form as a signed PDF. Registration proof uploads against the tenancy so the record stays complete.
What is in the RTB workbook?
An Excel file with a Summary sheet and one sheet each for new registrations, annual renewals, tenancy changes and parties. Each tenancy is one row, with the columns in RTB1 form order, a "Ready to file" column, and a "Missing for RTB" column naming what TenantSync does not have yet. The signature, fee and checklist are done when you file, so they are not counted as missing. The file holds PPSNs and dates of birth, so it is downloaded from inside your account and never emailed.
Does TenantSync notice when one tenant moves out and another moves in?
Yes, on any tenancy already registered with the RTB. When the tenants on the lease change, it records who left and who joined, sets the date to tell the RTB by (one month from the change), and asks whether it was an assignment, someone joining the joint tenancy, a sub-letting or a new tenancy. For a new tenancy, the workbook closes the old one with its RT number. You record the day you told the RTB.
When does the daily RTB digest arrive, and who gets it?
At 07:45, Monday to Friday, and only when something needs doing. The account owner gets it by default: the landlord, the agent, or the agency admin. Branch managers and team members switch it on in their own reminder settings, and anyone can send themselves today’s digest from the dashboard to see it straight away.
How does the national rent cap calculation work?
Since March 2026 national rent control replaced the Rent Pressure Zone system, capping increases at CPI or 2%, whichever is lower. The rent-review tracker calculates the maximum legal rent from CSO All-Items CPI data against the 2% cap, tells you which rule applied, and shows a disclaimer. It also tracks the next eligible review date, twelve months on from the last review.
What does the compliance dashboard actually track?
Eleven obligation types: RTB registration, RTB renewal, rent review, Part 4 notice, BER certificate, insurance, fire alarm service, gas safety certificate, electrical certificate, AML review, and custom items you define. Each is marked overdue if its due date has passed, upcoming if it falls within 30 days, and compliant otherwise.
Can it handle a whole agency portfolio rather than one landlord?
Yes. Registrations, compliance items, tenant changes and the digest are scoped by agency and branch, so an agency principal sees every managed tenancy across branches while a branch manager sees only theirs. On Growth and above, registrations are confirmed and renewals started in bulk, and the workbook covers the whole portfolio.
What happens at the annual renewal?
Each registration carries a renewal date, and it appears in the digest as it approaches. Start the renewal from the previous registration: it is marked as an annual registration quoting the existing RT number, and tenancy changes since the last submission are flagged so you amend rather than re-key.
Can we move an existing portfolio across without rekeying it?
Yes, free, whatever you use today. Letman exports go through our direct importer, and our team maps the export from any other lettings software, Excel or CSV, so tenancies, leases and rent details come across intact. Concierge onboarding is available to get an agency fully set up.
What does it cost?
All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card. Starter is €20/month for up to 10 units, Standard €99/month for up to 100, Growth €149/month for up to 200, and Premium €199/month for up to 300. Above 300 units, a custom plan; multi-branch agencies, Enterprise. RTB compliance, the daily digest and tenant changes are on every plan; the portfolio workbook and bulk actions start at Growth.
