Landlords have been warned to get up to speed and comply with radical rent reforms coming into effect from Sunday. The new provision means landlords wil be re-set rents to market rent, but in limited circumstances, for post March 1 tenancies. But it will be possible to do much of the enforcement digitally in future as landlords will have to submit documents on terminations, rent review and re-setting. The Rent Register draws on RTB tenancy registration data and is updated on a daily basis from the board’s tenancy registration system. Opposition parties claim the new rent setting rules for new tenancies will lead to a surge in rental costs.
