Navigating the RTB Process: Why REA Hynes Is Your Expert Partner in Rental Property Management
5th August 2025

At REA Hynes, we pride ourselves on being more than just property managers — we are your trusted partners in navigating the increasingly complex world of residential lettings. One area that often causes confusion for landlords and tenants alike is the RTB (Residential Tenancies Board) process.
Whether you're a first-time landlord or a seasoned investor, understanding your obligations and rights under the RTB framework is essential to protect your investment and avoid costly mistakes. That’s where our expertise comes in.
What is the RTB?
The Residential Tenancies Board is the governing body that oversees the rental sector in Ireland. All tenancies must be registered with the RTB, and it plays a key role in resolving disputes, enforcing legislation, and maintaining transparency in the rental market.
Why It Matters
Failure to comply with RTB regulations can result in penalties, disputes, and significant delays — all of which can be stressful and time-consuming. For many landlords, trying to interpret the ever-evolving legislation on their own can feel overwhelming.
