A social policy professor has claimed that he is being contacted by renters who fear they will not avail of the €500 rental credit as their landlord isn't legally registered.
Professor Rory Hearne, who wrote Gaffs, an award nominated book about an entire generation locked out of the housing market, has detailed the concerns of tenants in Ireland.
The Maynooth University professor said: "I'm being contacted by renters who can't claim €500 tax credit because their landlord isn't registered with RTB. This is unfair."
