    I heard on the radio this morning (RTE Radio One) that the new regulations will be coming into effect shortly so went to the PRTB to see exactly what the new regs were especially about the PRTB holding the security deposits - Guess what - the PRTB website is down. If they can't even keep a website up what hope is there of them getting deposits sorted?

    Will my landlord have to lodge my current deposit with the PRTB or will that only happen with new tenancy agreements?

    I would imagine it will only apply to new tenancies if/when it comes in.

    In fairness to the PRTB I've visited their site a lot over the years, usually to refer people from this forum. In all that time there's never been an issue.

    Quite possibly the website died under the impact of thousands of extra people visiting it this morning ....

    I'm responsible for a website for a company. Sometimes we have major back office upgrades which means we have to take the website down for period of time.

    It's actually possible to have a system where upgrades could be switched in live but the cost of implementing that isn't justified for what we do.

    I doubt it would be justified for the PRTB.
