Being a renter..

...I'll have to remember this when I get a new lease. Don't pay new registration fee, tenants advised (free registration to read). But the gist of it, the the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 is coming into force today, and tenants might be asked to pay upward to €180 upfront by landlords. If this is the case, Threshold has advised tenants not to pay this fee on top of the deposit, and also seek legal advice. Landlords cannot get away from this as there will be a fine of €3,000 or six months in prison or both will be imposed on landlords who do not lodge a fee.
