I guess so, I cant afford to heat it so would need a reduction in order to be able to stay. Thanks for your help.What outcome do you want from getting the actual BER rating ? Are you hoping to argue about the rent and seek a discount ? If so why not just state it now and tell him is rating seems wrong. It's quite hard for him to ask you to leave so I wouldn't worry about any consequences short term. Maybe you should start looking for better options either way.
Cant check it out with an mprn number and you cant get that until you move into the house. So I was going on the landlords and estate agents word.Surely its a case of buyer beware ie when you chose to rent you should have cheked this out and verified it yourself.
only if the EA or landlord stated somewhere in writing that the BER was A
Estate Agents Word?Cant check it out with an mprn number and you cant get that until you move into the house. So I was going on the landlords and estate agents word.
It’s not compulsory to put the BER on the RTB registration.So there are a number of issues here. It's false advertising for a start.
Did they submit the true or false rating to the RTB with the registration I wonder?
In the landlord is not willing to engage, you could lodge a dispute with the RTB. They usually favour the tenant, and have the power to force the landlord to reduce the rent substantially.

Thank you. Yes very costly we would use about a bag of coal a day, which I'm not happy about. I would move but have just had a double mastectomy and the house was unfurnished and it's all our own furniture so it's a big job and one I'm not able for plus there are not many house out there.Lighting daily fires is a very costly way to heat a house. What are your annual heating costs apart from that. Best bet is to move elsewhere.
Thank you. Yes over 6 months. Was not advertised officially anywhere was just mentioned. ThHow long are you there? Cancel that. See last summer. Just make sure it’s over 6 months.
I’d consult the RTB but only if the EA or landlord stated somewhere in writing that the BER was A (crazy difficult to achieve unless a new build)
Thank you Leo. Yes the prtb have said to register a breach of obligation. So may have to go down that route.It’s not compulsory to put the BER on the RTB registration.
No it's not Leo. When I fill in the form online you can leave that space blank. I don't have BER's so I don't put anything in there.Ah, that's interesting. I assumed the line here on 'if applicable' was just a get-out for BER exempt properties.

You know very well I'm not exempt. I didn't think they were worth the paper they are written on as it's of zero benefit to me to find out what A to Z they are. And the tenants couldn't care less.Are these BER exempt properties or ones that have been let for a very long time? The Irish implementation of the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive has made the provision of a BER mandatory on all residential property lettings since January 1st, 2009. Failure to supply one is punishable by a fine of up to €5,000.
But what will you getting the landlord to issue a BER actually do for you as regards heating bills.
