RTB Disputes

Detailed guidance on referring and prosecuting a dispute before the Residential Tenancies Board will appear on this page shortly.

What will be covered

This section will address the full lifecycle of an RTB dispute:

• Choosing the appropriate dispute-resolution pathway — adjudication, mediation or Tribunal.
• Time limits for referral and the consequences of delay.
• Preparing the application: parties, particulars, evidence and supporting documents.
• The hearing — procedure, advocacy and the rules of evidence applied by the RTB.
• Determination Orders and their enforcement.
• Appeals to the Tribunal and onwards to the courts on a point of law.
