The Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) claims to regulate and support both landlords and tenants, but in reality, it exists primarily as a tax compliance mechanism to ensure landlords register their properties and pay taxes. The RTB's real interest is in collecting registration fees and maintaining financial records, not protecting tenants' rights.Tenants across Ireland are paying exorbitant rents to live in substandard conditions while the RTB does nothing meaningful to address this crisis. The organization's priority is clearly protecting landlord interests and ensuring their registration fees are paid, not ensuring people have safe, affordable, and dignified housing.The RTB is completely absent when it comes to guaranteeing the rights of people with disabilities, including autistic individuals. There are no policies or support systems in place to protect disabled tenants who face unique housing challenges and discrimination. When you attempt to contact the RTB for help, they refuse to provide support, claiming "they don't do advice".An organization that is supposedly designed to help people with residential tenancies cannot even understand the simple difference between "advice" and protecting people's fundamental housing rights. If the RTB can't grasp this basic distinction, tenants, especially vulnerable populations like people with disabilities, are completely abandoned.The RTB needs a complete overhaul to actually serve tenants instead of functioning as a landlord protection and tax collection agency.
