I tracked down all the properties that have been fined in Ireland by the RTB for the likes of failure to register a tenancy or more importantly, increasing the Rent above what it should be in Rent Pressure Zones.

howmuchrent.com/r/rtb_sanctions For the view of just the properties fined.

360K fines in total, over 4 years issued by the RTB to landlords. And now renting is one of the biggest issues for many, especially in support jobs.

26,000 properties, according to the Irish Examiner(https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41474632.html), have broken this rule this year, yet only 32 landlords were fined. Is this less or more than you expected?

€350,000 in fines over FOUR YEARS. This is NOT enough to protect renters. We need stronger enforcement and real consequences for landlords who exploit tenants. Those facing higher and higher rents, this is why.
