You became a landlord — maybe by accident, maybe by design. Either way, the obligations didn't come with a manual. We wrote the manual. Then turned it into a structured training programme.
We are an education programme. We do not manage properties or give individual legal or tax advice.
Ireland's rental market is largely made up of individual landlords — people who own one or two properties and manage them alongside full-time jobs, families, and everything else life throws at them. That's not a criticism. It's just the reality.
The problem is that the legal and regulatory landscape for landlords has become genuinely complex. RTB registration has mandatory timelines. Rent Pressure Zones have strict rules with specific exemptions. Minimum standards regulations cover everything from ventilation to heating. Notice periods vary by tenancy duration and reason for termination. Tax treatment of rental income has specific allowances and deductions that many landlords either miss or misapply.
Getting any of this wrong isn't just an inconvenience — it can result in RTB disputes, financial penalties, or a tenancy that becomes very difficult to end even when you have legitimate grounds.
How we address this
RTB registration, RPZ rules, notice periods, minimum standards — the obligations are real and specific.
The programme is built around the actual things that trip landlords up. No filler, no generic property theory — just the specific knowledge you need to manage a rental property in Ireland correctly.
What the Residential Tenancies Board requires, when you must register, the timelines involved, and what happens if you don't comply.
How RPZ rules work, which areas are designated, what the rent increase limits are, and the specific exemptions that apply.
The Regulations covering structural condition, sanitary facilities, heating, ventilation, and what landlords are legally required to provide.
How deposits work under Irish tenancy law, what deductions are permissible, the dispute process, and how to document everything properly.
The correct notice period for every scenario — tenancy duration, reason for termination, and the specific form and service requirements that make a notice valid.
How rental income is taxed, what expenses are deductible, how mortgage interest relief works, and what records you need to keep for Revenue.
Handling repairs and maintenance requests professionally — including the 11pm Sunday call — without damaging the landlord-tenant relationship or your own sanity.
What a compliant tenancy agreement should contain, how Part 4 rights interact with fixed terms, and the documentation practices that protect both parties.
There's a difference between knowing that the Residential Tenancies Act exists and knowing what it actually means for you when your tenant texts at 11pm about a broken boiler.
The programme is structured to give you working knowledge — the kind you can actually use. We explain the rules in plain language, show you how they apply in common real-world scenarios, and give you frameworks for handling situations before they become disputes.
We're not solicitors and we're not accountants. We don't give advice on your specific situation. What we do is make sure you understand the landscape well enough to manage your property with confidence and to know when you need to call a professional.

Explore the Structure
Every tenancy must be registered with the RTB within a specific timeframe. Late registration carries a fee. Non-registration can affect your ability to pursue a dispute. Many landlords don't know the current rules have changed.
If your property is in a Rent Pressure Zone, the rules on rent increases are specific and non-negotiable. Getting this wrong — even accidentally — can result in RTB proceedings and having to repay excess rent.
Mortgage interest relief, allowable expenses, wear and tear allowances — the tax treatment of rental income has specific rules that many small landlords either don't know about or apply incorrectly. We explain the framework, not your specific return.
