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.

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.

  1. Overdue first

    Registrations, renewals, tenant changes, RTB copies of served notices and certificates, most urgent at the top.

  2. See what each one needs

    A registration says how many details are missing, or that it is ready to file.

  3. Open the tenancy and clear it

    Every item links to the lease it is about, so there is nothing to search for.

  4. Quiet when there is nothing to do

    No list, no email. Colleagues can switch it on for themselves.

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.

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.

Sample file

Open a sample RTB workbook

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.

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.

FAQ

RTB compliance questions

What Irish letting agents and landlords ask before moving their portfolio across.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
