The Residential Tenancies Act 2004 imposes time limits on certain cases being taken to the RTB. For instance: 1. Notice of Termination – Cases that solely relate to an invalid Notice of Termination must be referred to the Board within 28 days of receipt of the notice. Time limits also apply in respect of cases dealing with a rent dispute following the termination of a tenancy. 2. Rent Increase – Where a valid notice of a rent review has been served by the landlord then either party can submit a dispute to the RTB before the new rent is to have effect or before the expiry of the 28 days notice from the tenant receiving that notice. In all other cases the Statute of Limitations will apply, i.e. the case must be referred before the expiry of six years from the accrual of the cause of action. Please note that a person can apply to the RTB for an extension of time for a referral of a dispute by showing good grounds for such extension (s.88 of the RTA).
