Tenants and the PRTB
The Private Residential Tenancies Board (PRTB) was established in September 2004 to resolve disputes between landlords and tenants, operate a national tenancy registration system and provide information and policy advice on the private rented sector. The PRTB dispute resolution service replaces the courts in relation to the majority of landlord and tenant disputes. For more information visit www.prtb.ie
The SCK Group fully supports the PRTB and their objectives. We will ensure, that all investment properties under our control are registered with the PRTB. The benefits that arise from being registered are for both the landlord and the tenant. Failure to register with the PRTB will result in a fine and the landlord will be unable to claim any tax relief on that property.

- Ensure all tenants are aware that you are registered
- Complete the form PRTB1 on each occasion that a new tenant occupies your premises.
