S.I. No. 462/2009 — Housing (Standards For Rented Houses)(Amendment) Regulations 2009
http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/2010/en/si/0357.html
S.I. No. 357/2010 — Housing (Rent Books) (Amendment) Regulations 2010.
Got a letter recently from Louth County Council advising me the above regulations are in force and reminding me of Landlords obligations to meet certain standards under a number of headings;
Structural Condition
Sanitary Facilities
Heating facilities
Food preparation, storage and laundry
Ventilation
Lighting
Fire safety
Refuse facilities
Electricity and gas
They have commenced an inspection programme and intend to visit all properties over the coming months to ensure these standards are met along with Rent Book Regulations.
I would welcome any inspection.
I would hope any shortcomings found would be rigorously followed up on, but I suspect a lot of non compliant properties are not registered with the PRTB which presumably is where they got my details from, and as such the Councils will not be aware of their existence to carry out these inspections.
Have Landlords from other County Councils received this letter ?
Hopefully it is nationwide.
