Just reading the rules there, I guess this is the pertinent one to me
In the case of a new tenancy in a rent pressure zone, a landlord is required to furnish the tenant, in writing, with the following information at the commencement of the tenancy:
(i) The amount of rent that was last set under a tenancy for the dwelling;
(ii) The date the rent was last set under a tenancy for the dwelling;
(iii) A statement as to how the rent set under the tenancy of the dwelling has been calculated having regard to the rent pressure zone formula.
To subsequently dispute the agreed rent, the incoming tenant would somehow have to prove the rent charged to his/her predecessor - that information is not publicly available.
It was widely predicted that this aspect of the new rules would be widely, if not universally, ignored.
There is no law against advertising a property for rent at whatever rate a property owner sees fit.

a lot of landlords do not bother updating the PTRB tenant registration when they increase the rent so not possibly accurateIf the previous rent is lodged with the PTRB and the new rent is too, its a simple database check for them

Hi Aristotle....I'm not sure that this information is correct in this instance. If the OP and his tenant are in a Part 4 tenancy
My understanding is that a landlord can terminate a tenancy after 4 years and even rent the property again to the same tenant at a much higher rent under a new tenancy.
... why worry about putting the rent to a reasonable level.
I think the proof in the adherence to this rule will be bourne out in the next daft report.
Ye Gods you think the PRTB are capable of thisIf the previous rent is lodged with the PTRB and the new rent is too, its a simple database check for them
