Foreword A subcommittee of the Resident and Tenant Focus Group have put this booklet together as a guide and support for our fellow citizens. The enactment of "The Residential Tenancies Act 2004" brought some new order in the relationship between landlords, tenants and neighbours, and we felt that a simple guide and overview was essential, so here it is. We hope that you will find it both interesting and informative and that it gives some answers to your questions on the respective roles, rights and responsibilities of landlords, tenants and neighbours alike. We would like to thank all those who collected the material, arranged it and presented it so attractively. We would like to acknowledge the help of Criostoir O’Loingsigh and Carol Finlay (Dublin Community Forum Co-ordinators), Pat Grant (Resident and Tenant Focus Group), Stephen Large (Threshold), Fintan McNamara (IPOA) and Ashley Beston (Unique Perspectives - Research Consultants) in compiling this booklet. Padraic Ingoldsby, Irene Bent and Carmel Clarke Resident and Tenant Focus Group Subcommittee This booklet is also available online at www.dublin.ie in pdf format.

The Resident and Tenant Focus Group The Dublin Community Forum’s Resident and Tenant Focus Group was set up to facilitate local involvement and input into future planning, strategy and development for Dublin city, with particular reference to issues affecting both residents and tenants. The existence of the Resident and Tenant Focus Group also provides an opportunity for tenant and resident representatives throughout the city to share their experiences and work on joint projects such as this booklet; something which individual groups might have neither the capacity nor funding to do. If you would like more information about the Dublin Community Forum or if your group is interested in becoming involved in the Resident and Tenant Focus Group write to: Dublin Community Forum, Resident and Tenant Focus Group, Director of Community and Enterprise, Block 4, Floor 1, Civic Offices, Dublin 8.
