3 Times my relative was denied a PPS number even though she had her ID (passport), letter from work saying she is working part-time and a letter with her name and address from a different place which says that there are no vacancies however it is an official letter. They insists that we complete a Declaration Of Residency form with a prtb number but we can't do that as our landlord won't sign it and register her. Why is that form required if it not mentioned anywhere online and is not needed to get a PPS number?
 
She just needs proof of address. Open a bank account and use the bank statement as proof of address to get a PPS number.

Did he say why he wouldn't sign? It is quite possible he is not registered with the PRTB so he is breaking the law. I would report him if this is the case.

If she is not on the lease, then she may not be a tenant but a licensee (i.e. renting a room with a live-in landlord), which does not require registration with the PRTB and therefore the landlord would not sign it. If she is renting a room from a tenant who has the lease she is still a licensee and the tenant is her landlord.
As regards the Declaration of Residency, even an Irish citizen who is returning to Ireland after working some years outside the EU still has to provide such proof of residency or have been resident in Ireland for at least 2 years before s/he can claim any benefits.
