    I got an invoice from the PRTB looking for me to reregister my existing tenants, as they have been there for 4 years. What aload of rubbish, complete racketeering.

    Has anyone ever challenged this?

    The legislation changed in January moving part IV from 4 to 6 years for new tenancies. However existing tenancies are still on 4 year cycle and need to be renewed after 4 years or whenever a new tenancy commences that is the law so if you want to go to court to challenge the law over €90 work away!

    Take the opportunity to end the tenancy and start a new one from scratch.
    I won't go into it, but don't take my word for it. If you look it up there are many downsides to a LL letting a part 4 roll after 4 years, compared to ending it. End it while you have the chance and then consider all of your options freshly.

    Out if laziness I hasn't considered it. I'll check with my solicitor and see what he thinks. They have being very good tenants.

    The tenants have already been there for 4 years. Section 42 has been abolished. Too late.

    The payment of a second €90 after 4 years has been in existence for years.

    It is being more frequently applied now because tenancies are lasting longer in the tight rental market.
